Hidden Genetic Diversity in an Asexually Reproducing Lichen Forming Fungal Group.

Asexual species with vegetative propagation of both symbiont partners (soredia) in lichens may harbor lower species diversity because they may indeed represent evolutionary dead ends or clones. In this study we aim to critically examine species boundaries in the sorediate lichen forming fungi Parmot...
