“…Symbiotic entities within Peltigera are represented by two different types of associations: (i) bipartite symbioses involving the fungus and a cyanobacterium ( Nostoc ) and (ii) tripartite symbioses involving the fungus, a green alga ( Coccomyxa ) as the main photobiont, and a cyanobacterium ( Nostoc ) located in external cephalodia on the upper or lower surface of the thallus ( 27 ). Although the genus is readily recognized in the field, it is a taxonomically complex group, and many challenges remain at the species level ( 13 , 15 , 27 , 28 ).…”

“…This cosmopolitan genus, with an estimated number of 60–75 taxa ( 13 , 19 , 55 ), has been mainly revised in the Northern Hemisphere ( e.g. 15, 29), with most species recorded from Europe and North America, but also in some parts of the Southern Hemisphere such as New Zealand ( 11 , 12 ), Australia ( 21 ), Papua New Guinea ( 47 ) and, recently, Southern Chile ( 25 , 40 , 41 ).…”

The lichen genus Peltigera has been mainly revised in the Northern Hemisphere, with most species being recorded in Europe and North America. This study assessed the phylogenetic diversity of the mycobionts and cyanobionts of Peltigera cyanolichens collected in Southern Chile and Antarctica, areas in which lichens are extremely diverse but poorly studied. The operational taxonomic units (OTUs) of each symbiont were defined by analyzing the genetic diversity of the LSU and SSU rDNA of the mycobionts and cyanobionts, respectively, and a phylogenetic approach was used to relate these OTUs with sequences previously reported for Peltigera and Nostoc. Among the 186 samples collected, 8 Peltigera and 15 Nostoc OTUs were recognized, corresponding to sections Peltigera, Horizontales, and Polydactylon, in the case of the mycobionts, and to the Nostoc clade II, in the case of the cyanobionts. Since some of the OTUs recognized in this study had not previously been described in these areas, our results suggest that the diversity of Peltigera reported to date in the regions studied using traditional morphological surveys has underestimated the true diversity present; therefore, further explorations of these areas are recommended.

“…For fa39, see Entodon schleicheri (above). In Alberta this species is apparently locally common around Edmonton and rare elsewhere (Goffinet and Hastings 1994) who report that it grows on rotten wood or tree roots in aspen, balsam poplar, or mixedwood forests. There were a few patches found near fa38…”

“…The sympatric P. evansiana {Goffinet 5179, DUKE) differs by the terete to somewhat dorsi-ventral and branched laminal isidia (Goffinet & Hastings 1994). At maturity the black apothecia of P. phyllidiosa terminate in short elongate lobes, a characteristic of P. collina and P. neckeri.…”

The new species Peltigera phyllidiosa Goffinet & Miadlikowska from the Southern Appalachians, eastern U.S.A., is closely related to P. collina and P. neckeri. Like these species it has a glabrous upper cortex and black fingernail-or saddleshaped apothecial discs, but differs in its laminal phyllidia. Variation in nucleotide sequences of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) of the nrDNA repeat region correlates with the presence or absence of phyllidia, supporting the distinction of P. phyllidiosa from P. collina and P. neckeri.
