In the case of species pairs, by contrast, few if any of the pairs studied to date have been confirmed to consist of independent lineages. Differences in reproductive mode alone appear not to be a sufficient reason to recognise new species."]

Keywords: ARCTIC/ CHECKLIST/ LICHENICOLOUS/
Abstract: [Massive tabular checklist (1860 species: 1610 lichens, 250 lichenicolous fungi) and geographical distributions for 28 designated Arctic regions, primarily based on an extensive literature review. Of the 1610 lichens, 133 appear to be endemic to the Arctic. Published by the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF), a working group of the Arctic Council.]

Abstract: [Study is based on analyses of the 105 protein-encoding genes and nuclear LSU rDNA datasets. "Our results indicate that the main contribution to the higher substitution rates in Ascomycota does not come from mutualism, ecological conditions, sterility, metabolic rate or shorter generation time, but is possibly caused by the founder effect."]

Abstract: [Authors used DNA extracts from cultures as well as total DNA extracts and found " ... evidence that five of the previously described microsatellite markers, proposed to be fungus-specific, are indeed alga-specific. Hence, highly variable microsatellite primer sets available for both, the algal and the fungal symbionts of L. pulmonaria are now at our hands, which allow us to investigate so far unexplored biological processes of lichen symbionts, such as codispersal and coevolution."]
