Phylogenetic relationships and species concepts in Parmelia s. str. (Parmeliaceae) inferred from nuclear ITS rDNA and β-tubulin sequences (2004, methodology): “…to determine phylogenies in parmelioid genera using several regions of DNA: nuclear ITS and 5·8S (Mattsson & Wedin 1998; Crespo & Cubero 1998); nuclear SSU and ITS rDNA (Wedin et al. 1999); mitochondrial SSU rDNA (Crespo et al. 2001); and ITS and -tubulin (Crespo et al. 2002; Thell et al. 2002).”
Parmelina quercina (Parmeliaceae, Lecanorales) includes four phylogenetically supported morphospecies (2007, methodology): “Recently they have been suggested as a promising character supporting phylogenetic hypothesis (Crespo et al., 2001).”
Biodiversity of lichens, including a world-wide analysis of checklist data based on Takhtajan’s floristic regions (2007, background): “In addition, information from ß-tubulin, GAPDH, and mitochondrial SSU sequences have been shown to have high utility in species delimitation within Parmeliaceae and Cladoniaceae (Thell et al. 2004; Crespo et al. 2001; Myllys et al. 2003).”
