Eco‐phylogenetic study of <i>Trebouxia</i> in southern Africa reveals interbiome connectivity and potential endemism in a green algal lichen photobiont
Depending on the metric used, ca. 20-30% of global Trebouxia biodiversity occurs in southern Africa, including many species yet to be described. With a classification scheme for Trebouxia now well established, tree-based approaches are preferable over "barcode gap" methods for delimiting new species.
