Arthoniaceae
The Arthoniaceae are a family of lichenized, lichenicolous and saprobic fungi in the order Arthoniales. The Arthoniaceae is the largest family of Arthoniales, with around 800 species. Most species in Arthoniaceae belong in '' Arthonia'' which is the largest genus with 500 species. The second and third largest genus is '' Arthothelium'' with 80 species, and ''Cryptothecia'' with 60 species. ''Arthonia'' is the type genus of Arthoniaceae, and it is known to be a polyphyletic and paraphyletic genus. The process of splitting ''Arthonia'' into monophyletic groups is an ongoing process. In order to make ''Arthonia'' monophyletic, several genera have been described or resurrected. Distribution The species in Arthoniaceae have a worldwide distribution, but are especially prevalent in tropical areas with a Mediterranean climate. They are known from arctic to tropical latitudes, as well as variating altitudes from sea level to alpine regions, distributed in both humid forests and dry habit ...

Cosmopolitan Distribution
In biogeography, cosmopolitan distribution is the term for the range of a taxon that extends across all or most of the world in appropriate habitats. Such a taxon, usually a species, is said to exhibit cosmopolitanism or cosmopolitism. The extreme opposite of a cosmopolitan species is an endemic one, being found only in a single geographical location. Qualification The caveat “in appropriate habitat” is used to qualify the term "cosmopolitan distribution", excluding in most instances polar regions, extreme altitudes, oceans, deserts, or small, isolated islands. For example, the housefly is highly cosmopolitan, yet is neither oceanic nor polar in its distribution. Related terms and concepts The term pandemism also is in use, but not all authors are consistent in the sense in which they use the term; some speak of pandemism mainly in referring to diseases and pandemics, and some as a term intermediate between endemism and cosmopolitanism, in effect regarding pandemism as ...

List Of Arthonia Species
This is a list of species in the fungal genus ''Arthonia'', which contains both lichen-forming fungi, and lichenicolous fungi, lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungi. , Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts 164 species of ''Arthonia''. The ''Arthonia'' species accepted by Species Fungorum are those for which they have expressed a taxonomic opinion, and does not necessarily represent the total number of species in the family. Although more than 1600 taxon, taxa have at one time been placed in the genus, the majority of these are now either considered synonym (taxonomy), synonyms of other species, have been moved to other genera, or are too little-known and have been collected too infrequently to have had a taxonomic opinion expressed about them. Recent estimates for the number of species in the genus include 491 (2008), 500 (2017), and 50 species with 300 "orphaned" species (2021). According to a 2018 review of lichenicolous fungi, there are 139 lichenicolous fungi and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
