@ARTICLE{TreeBASE2Ref15354, author = {Stefan Ekman and P. M. Jorgensen}, title = {Towards a molecular phylogeny for the lichen family Pannariaceae (Lecanorales, Ascomycota).}, year = {2002}, keywords = {lichens; Pannariaceae; ITS; ribosomal DNA; phylogeny; MCMC}, doi = {10.1139/b02-043}, url = {}, pmid = {}, journal = {Canadian Journal of Botany}, volume = {80}, number = {}, pages = {625--634}, abstract = {The phylogeny of the family Pannariaceae (Lecanorales, lichenized Ascomycota) was investigated using ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences representing 21 species. Phylogenetic estimations were performed using parsimony and a Bayesian MCMC tree sampling procedure. Several phylogenetic null hypotheses were tested, also using MCMC. The results indicate that the Pannariaceae, as currently treated, is polyphyletic and that Degelia sect. Amphiloma, Fuscopannaria subg. Micropannaria, and Moelleropsis s. str. do not belong in the family. The inclusion of Parmeliella in the Pannariaceae could not be rejected, although it falls outside the family in the optimal trees. Psoroma, Santessoniella, Protopannaria, Fuscopannaria subg. Fuscopannaria, Moelleropsis s. str., and Pannaria unequivocally belong to the family. The Pannaria sphinctrina group belongs in Pannaria despite its green-algal photobiont. Protopannaria pezizoides is not, as sometimes treated, a Pannaria although a relationship with Psoroma could not be ruled out. In the optimal trees, Moelleropsis s. str. is nested inside Fuscopannaria subg. Fuscopannaria and Santessoniella inside Psoroma, but null hypotheses of their independence from these genera could not be rejected. Pannaria cannot be divided into two monophyletic subgenera, Pannaria and Chryopannaria. The photobiont has changed twice or three times and the ascus apex and hymenial amyloidity three times inside the Pannariaceae.} }
