Título: | Patterns of Endemism in Lichens: Another Paradigm-Shifting Example in the Lichen Genus Xanthoparmelia from Macaronesia |
Autor: | Pérez-Vargas, Israel; Tuero-Septién, Javier; Rancel-Rodríguez, Nereida M.; Pérez, José Antonio ; Blázquez, Miguel CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 21-feb-2024 | Editor: | Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute | Citación: | Journal of Fungi 10 (3): 166 (2024) | Resumen: | It has long been assumed that lichen-forming fungi have very large distribution ranges, and that endemic species are rare in this group of organisms. This is likely a consequence of the “everything small is everywhere” paradigm that has been traditionally applied to cryptogams. However, the description of numerous endemic species over the last decades, many of them in oceanic islands, is challenging this view. In this study, we provide another example, <i>Xanthoparmelia ramosae</i>, a species that is described here as new to science on the basis of morphological, chemical, and macroclimatic data, and three molecular markers (<i>ITS</i> rDNA, <i>nuLSU</i> rDNA, and <i>mtSSU</i>). The new species is endemic to the island of Gran Canaria but clusters into a clade composed exclusively of specimens collected in Eastern Africa, a disjunction that is here reported for the first time in lichen-forming fungi. Through the use of dating analysis, we have found that <i>Xanthoparmelia ramosae</i> diverged from its closely related African taxa in the Pliocene. This result, together with the reproductive strategy of the species, points to the Relict theory as a likely mechanism behind the disjunction, although the large gap in lichenological knowledge in Africa makes this possibility hard to explore any further. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/349099 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.3390/jof10030166 |
