The human fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus can produce the highest known number of meiotic crossovers (2023)
Journal Article
Auxier, B., Debets, A. J., Rhodes, J., Stanford, F. A., Becker, F. M., Marquez, F. R., …Snelders, E. (2023). The human fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus can produce the highest known number of meiotic crossovers. PLoS Biology, 21(9), Article e3002278. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3002278

Sexual reproduction involving meiosis is essential in most eukaryotes. This produces offspring with novel genotypes, both by segregation of parental chromosomes as well as crossovers between homologous chromosomes. A sexual cycle for the opportunisti...

A new species of the genus Anamylopsora (Baeomycetaceae; Ascomycota) from Deosai National Park, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan (2023)
Journal Article
Usman, M., Firdous, Q., Dyer, P. S., & Khalid, A. N. (2023). A new species of the genus Anamylopsora (Baeomycetaceae; Ascomycota) from Deosai National Park, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Lichenologist, https://doi.org/10.1017/s002428292300018x

A novel lichen species occurring on rocks was collected from three different localities within Deosai National Park, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Phylogenetic analyses of the nrDNA ITS and nuLSU regions revealed that it clustered within the genus Anam...

Local-scale panmixia in the lichenized fungus Xanthoria parietina contrasts with substantial genetic structure in its Trebouxia photobionts (2023)
Journal Article
Wyczanska, M., Wacker, K., Dyer, P. S., & Werth, S. (2023). Local-scale panmixia in the lichenized fungus Xanthoria parietina contrasts with substantial genetic structure in its Trebouxia photobionts. Lichenologist, 55(2), 69-79. https://doi.org/10.1017/S002428292300004X

Microsatellite markers can provide valuable information about gene flow and population history. We developed and tested new microsatellites for the nitrophilic lichenized fungus Xanthoria parietina and studied its genetic diversity and structure with...
