Phylogenetic species recognition and species concepts in fungi.
@article{Taylor2000PhylogeneticSR, title={Phylogenetic species recognition and species concepts in fungi.}, author={J. W. H. Taylor and David J. Jacobson and Scott Kroken and Takao Kasuga and David M. Geiser and David S. Hibbett and Matthew C.

The operational species concept, i.e., the one used to recognize species, is contrasted to the theoretical species concept. A phylogenetic approach to recognize fungal species based on concordance of multiple gene genealogies is compared to those based on morphology and reproductive behavior. Examples where Phylogenetic Species Recognition has been applied to fungi are reviewed and concerns regarding Phylogenetic Species Recognition are discussed.

A gene genealogical approach to recognize phylogenetic species boundaries in the lichenized fungus Letharia
- Biology
- 2001
Letharia, a genus of lichenized fungi described as a pair of sympatric species, was investigated as a model system in which to recognize species boundaries, demonstrating the need for multiple independent loci in phylogenetic analysis to recognize recent speciation events.

- BiologyEvolution; international journal of organic evolution
- 2003
Overall, the groups of individuals identified as species were similar whether recognized by reproductive success or by phylogenetic criteria, and increased genetic distance between parents was associated with decreased reproductive success of crosses, suggesting that PSR using genealogical concordance can be used to reliably recognize species in organisms that are not candidates for BSR.

It is argued that the choice between character- and history-based concepts is primarily determined by one's understanding of systematics, and it is maintained that a phylogenetic species concept should be history- based.
