Summary: The study reveals the presence of three partially admixed phylogenetic species within the Pseudephebe genus, with one exhibiting an amphitropical distribution and the others having restricted distributions. The Quaternary glacial cycles strongly influenced their distribution, with a possible Northern Hemisphere origin for one of the species.

Summary: Two lichenicolous fungi growing in different regions show similarities to a previously described species, but can be distinguished through detailed microscopic analysis and molecular markers. Phylogenetic analyses confirmed their separation as a new lineage, for which a new generic name was introduced.

Summary: Speciation in oceanic islands has been a topic of interest for scientists since the 19th century. Adaptive radiation, which is the process of a lineage giving rise to different species through ecological speciation, is a striking evolutionary phenomenon that can be observed in islands. This study examines the role of the trophic niche in a potential radiation of endemic species from the Macaronesian Region, specifically the Ramalina decipiens group. The research finds that there is no segregation of the trophic niche in this group.

Summary: This study analyzed 120 samples of R. farinacea to unravel its evolutionary history. The results revealed that R. farinacea and its close relatives originated during relatively recent geological times and expanded their range to higher latitudes. However, it remains uncertain whether the species originated exclusively from the Macaronesian archipelagos or also from the Mediterranean Basin.

Summary: This study used a comprehensive dataset and genetic analysis to investigate the species boundaries, evolutionary relationships, and geographic distribution of the genus Lichina. The results identified four species in the genus, with L. pygmaea, L. confinis, and the newly described L. canariensis found in the Northern Hemisphere and L. intermedia restricted to the Southern Hemisphere. The genetic diversity of L. intermedia was much higher than the other species, suggesting species-level lineages within this species.

Summary: This study tested the effectiveness of biocide-based treatments on microbial colonization of a dolostone quarry in both short and long-term using a dual analytical strategy. The results showed that the effects of biocides on different microbial taxa varied and were related to their recolonization abilities. The study highlights the importance of combining metabarcoding and microscopy techniques to analyze treatment effects and design effective strategies for preventing biodeterioration.
