52.- Garrido-Benavent I, Pérez-Ortega S, de los Ríos A, Mayrhofer H & Fernández-Mendoza F (2021) Neogene speciation and Pleistocene expansion of the genus Pseudephebe (Parmeliaceae, lichenized fungi) involving multiple colonizations of Antarctica. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 155: 107020 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2020.107020 (link)
(This paper demonstrates the existence of three partly admixed phylogenetic species in Pseudephebe that diverged between the Miocene and Pliocene, and whose Quaternary distribution has been strongly driven by glacial cycles. Pseudephebe minuscula is the only species showing an amphitropical distribution, with populations in Antarctica originating after multiple and independent colonization events, whereas the restricted distribution of P. pubescens to Europe and an undescribed Alaskan species
might reflect the survival of these species in European and North American refugia.)

30.- Garrido-Benavent I, de los Ríos A, Fernández-Mendoza F & Pérez-Ortega S (2018) No need for stepping stones: Direct, joint dispersal of the lichen-forming fungus Mastodia tessellata (Ascomycota) and its photobiont explains their bipolar distribution. Journal of Biogeography, 45: 213 - 224 doi: 10.1111/jbi.13105 (link)
(This paper deals with the phylogeography of the myco- and photobiont in a fascinating lichen symbiosis showing a bipolar distribution. Mastodia tessellata -Verrucariaceae- is one of the very few species of lichenized fungi associated with a macroscopic, foliose alga -the genus of green algae Prasiola in the Trebouxiophyceae. We provide evidence for a shared evolutionary history of both bionts in the Southern Hemisphere, and for their dispersal, likely bird-mediated, into the Northern Hemisphere in more recent times. The dating analyses for the photobiont constitute one of the most interesting results of the present study)

(We consider various genetic processes affecting the distribution of alleles among taxa and find that alleles may not consistently and uniquely represent the species within which they are contained. We conclude that the acceptance of DNA sequences alone as types of names of taxa, under the terms used in the current proposals, is unnecessary and would not solve the problem of naming putative taxa known only from DNA sequences in a scientifically defensible way)
