Four new species of Bacidia s.s. ( Ramalinaceae, Lecanorales) in the Russian Far East
Abstract The molecular phylogeny of Bacidia s.s. in the Russian Far East was investigated using 62 nucleotide sequences from the ITS nrDNA region, 22 of which were newly obtained. Phylogenetic reconstructions employed Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood searches using MrBayes and RAxML. In add...
