Biogeography and Ancestry of Lichens and Other Ascomycetes

  • Chapter
Ascomycete Systematics

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 269))

Summary

Biogeography is simply defined as the study of geographical distribution of organisms; the patterns of distribution of taxa, and the processes by which these observed distributions have come about. The application of chemical and biogeographical data to the detection of ancestry in the Ascomycotina is discussed.
