Abstract
En el centro-oeste de Brasil, la región de la Serra da Bodoquena
comprende bosques ribereños, caducifolios estacionales y semideciduos, donde se conocen unas 400 especies de líquenes. El área
está sufriendo los impactos de la agricultura y los incendios intencionales, que amenazan la biodiversidad local. Estudiando los hongos formadores de líquenes de la Serra da Bodoquena a través de
análisis integrativos, se describe una nueva especie, Thyrea pulverulenta (Lichinales, Lichinaceae). Además, se generaron secuencias de las regiones nuITS y mtSSU, y se infirió la posición del género dentro de los Lichinomycetes, confirmando su estrecha relación filogenética con Watsoniomyces. También demostramos que
la región aún necesita ser estudiada, siendo un posible punto crítico de biodiversidad con especies endémicas.
In central-west Brazil, the Serra da Bodoquena region comprises riparian, seasonal deciduous, and semideciduous forests, where ca. 400 lichens species are known. The area is suffering the impacts of agriculture and intentional fires, which threaten the local biodiversity. Studying the lichen-forming fungi from the Serra da Bodoquena through integrative analyses, a new species was discovered, Thyrea pulverulenta (Lichinales, Lichinaceae). In addition, sequences of nuITS and mtSSU regions were generated, and the position of the genus within the Lichinomycetes was inferred, confirming its close phylogenetic relationship with Watsoniomyces. We also demonstrated that the region still needs to be studied, being a possible biodiversity hotspot with endemic species.
