dc.description.abstractBiological processes such as hybridization, incomplete lineage sorting and gene flow can obscure the recognition of distinct evolutionary lineages, particularly in groups of organisms that have recently diverged. Therefore, compiling pieces of evidence from diverse data sources is critical to accurately assess species boundaries in such groups. The increasing availability of DNA sequence data allows for a much deeper understanding of diversification and speciation processes and their consequences on biodiversity. In this study, we applied an integrative approach based on DNA sequence, chemical, geographic and morphological data to attempt to define species boundaries in the lichen-forming genus Usnea (Parmeliaceae), particularly the U. cornuta aggregate, a cosmo-politan species group. We provide the first species delimitation for this group in the neotropics based on the multispecies coalescent (MSC) model. Using ITS rDNA and two protein-coding genes, Mcm7 and RPB1, we estimated the species tree under the MSC model in a Bayesian framework using STACEY. Our results indicate that at least nine strongly supported distinct lineages coexist in the U. cornuta aggregate, which are well chemically characterized. Additionally, we found evidence for the polyphyly of three morphospecies, Usnea brasiliensis, U. cornuta and U. dasaea.en_US
