      Phyllopsora is a crustose to squamulose lichen genus inhabiting the bark of trees in moist tropical forests and rainforests. Species identification is generally challenging and is mainly based on ascospore morphology, ...

    • Competition on the Rocks: Community Growth and Tessellation 

      Jettestuen, Espen; Nermoen, Anders; Hestmark, Geir; Timdal, Einar; Mathiesen, Joachim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      Crustose lichen communities on rocks exhibit fascinating spatial mosaics resembling political maps of nations or municipalities. Although the establishment and development of biological populations are important themes in ...

      Nomenclatural type definitions are one of the most important concepts in biological nomenclature. Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement ...

    • DNA Sequencing Historical Lichen Specimens 

      Kistenich, Sonja; Halvorsen, Rune; Schrøder-Nielsen, Audun; Thorbek, Birgitte Lisbeth Graae; Timdal, Einar; Bendiksby, Mika (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Biological specimens in natural history collections worldwide are increasingly being used in biogeographical, environmental, and taxonomic studies. For their meaningful use, correct species identification is crucial. For ...

    • Molecular systematics and character evolution in the lichen family Ramalinaceae (Ascomycota: Lecanorales) 

      Kistenich, Sonja; Timdal, Einar; Bendiksby, Mika; Ekman, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The Ramalinaceae is the fourth‐largest family of lichenized ascomycetes with 42 genera and 913 species exhibiting considerable morphological variation. Historically, generic boundaries in the Ramalinaceae were primarily ...
