Abstract Background In this study, we investigate species limits in the cyanobacterial lichen genus Rostania (Collemataceae, Peltigerales, Lecanoromycetes). Four molecular markers (mtSSU rDNA, β-tubulin, MCM7, RPB2) were sequenced and analysed with two coalescent-based species delimitation methods: the Generalized Mixed Yule Coalescent model (GMYC) and a Bayesian species delimitation method (BPP) using a multispecies coalescence model (MSC), the latter with or without an a priori defined guide tree. Results Species delimitation analyses indicate the presence of eight strongly supported candidate species. Conclusive correlation between morphological/ecological characters and genetic delimitation could be found for six of these. Of the two additional candidate species, one is represented by a single sterile specimen and the other currently lacks morphological or ecological supporting evidence. Conclusions We conclude that Rostania includes a minimum of six species: R. ceranisca, R. multipunctata, R. occultata 1, R. occultata 2, R. occultata 3, and R. occultata 4,5,6. Three distinct Nostoc morphotypes occur in Rostania, and there is substantial correlation between these morphotypes and Rostania thallus morphology.

AbstractThe complex topography of the species-rich northern Andes creates heterogeneous environmental landscapes that are hypothesized to have promoted population fragmentation and diversification by vicariance, gradients and/or the adaptation of species. Previous phylogenetic work on the Palm Rocket Frog (Anura: Aromobatidae: Rheobates spp.), endemic to mid-elevation forests of Colombia, suggested valleys were important in promoting divergence between lineages. In this study, we use a spatially, multi-locus population genetic approach of two mitochondrial and four nuclear genes from 25 samples representing the complete geographic range of the genus to delimit species and test for landscape effects on genetic divergence within Rheobates. We tested three landscape genetic models: isolation by distance, isolation by resistance, and isolation by environment. Bayesian species delimitation (BPP) and a Poisson Tree Process (PTP) model both recovered five highly divergent genetic lineages within Rheobates, rather than the three inferred in a previous study. We found that an isolation by environment provided the only variable significantly correlated with genetic distances for both mitochondrial and nuclear genes, suggesting that local adaptation may have a role driving the genetic divergence within this genus of frogs. Thus, genetic divergence in Rheobates may be driven by the local environments where these frogs live, even more so that by the environmental characteristics of the intervening regions among populations (i.e., geographic barriers).
