Taxonomy and species delimitation in Sporodictyon (Verrucariaceae) in
Northern Europe and the adjacent Arctic—reconciling molecular and
morphological data -
Taxon,
58(2): 585–605
Morphological variation in Sporodictyon is scrutinized in an effort to reconcile it with monophyletic groups based on molecular evidence. Molecular data (nucITS, nucLSU, RPB1) are investigated by Bayesian and parsimony phylogenetic analyses, statistical parsimony, and split decomposition. Morphological variation within and between the monophyletic groups is evaluated. Four monophyletic groups strongly supported by molecular data correspond to morphologically well-characterized species. Sporodictyon …
