Taxonomy and DNA barcoding of foliose lichens from urban areas: a tool for surveying and monitoring biodiversity
Project summary:
The identification of lichenized fungi based on phenotype is a task that often requires the help of a specialist in the group. Urban lichens have been used in several ecological studies to control and monitor atmospheric air quality. Some lichens are more resistant to disturbed environments, as is the case of many lichens with the habit of foliose growth. Thus, our project aims to develop an integrative study between the classical taxonomy and the molecular of foliose species belonging to Caliciaceae and Parmeliaceae present in urban areas from Brazil.
