<i>Peltigera</i> lichens can colonize extreme habitats, such as high-elevation ecosystems, but their biodiversity is still largely unknown in these environments, especially in the southern hemi- sphere. We assessed the genetic diversity of mycobionts and cyanobionts of 60 <i>Peltigera</i> lichens collected in three high Andean steppes of southern Chile using LSU, <i>β-tubulin</i>, COR3 and ITS loci for mycobionts, and SSU and <i>rbcLX</i> loci for cyanobionts. We obtained 240 sequences for the d ...[more]
