Description

The dataset "Barcoded Reticulariaceae of the World" serves as a repository of primary data regarding specimens that were used for a comprehensive review of the family Reticulariaceae, Myxomycetes. It encompasses a total of 523 occurrences, including 36 type specimens, from collections gathered from four continents across 24 countries. This dataset includes 43 distinct species and two subspecies of Myxomycetes, among them rare, endemic, and recently described species. These collections were used as research materials in a series of published studies that focused on critical revisions of various genera, namely Alwisia (Leontyev et al. 2014a, 2014b), Lycogala (Leontyev 2023a, 2023b, Leontyev & Schnittler 2023), Tubifera (Leontyev et al. 2015, Lloyd et al. 2019), Siphoptychium, and Thecotubifera (Leontyev et al. 2019). In addition to the mentioned genera, the dataset also contains data pertaining to the genus Reticularia and members of the Cribrariaceae family that share morphological similarities with Reticulariaceae, specifically Lindbladia and Licaethalium. Nearly all of the specimens, with the exception of several old collections, have been barcoded, primarily involving the 18S rDNA gene, but also the elongation factor 1a gene and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene. For those sequences that are stored in the NCBI GenBank, accession numbers are provided in the dataset.

Data Records

The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 476 records.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods

The data for this dataset were collected and processed during the previous taxonomic studies. Nearly all of the research material, with the exception of several old collections, underwent molecular barcoding, primarily involving the 18S rDNA gene, but also the elongation factor 1a gene (EF1a) and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI). For those sequences that are stored in the NCBI GenBank, accession numbers are provided in the dataset. It should be noted that identical sequences obtained from different accessions were not published in GenBank as separate records in the 2014–2019 publications. Therefore, for most of the Alwisia, Siphoptychium and Tubifera accessions included in the dataset, the numbers with which they share an identical barcode are given, rather than their own GenBank numbers. In such cases, the table contains the indicator "ident." (the barcode is identical to the following accession number).

Study Extent The dataset encompasses a total of 523 specimen-based occurrences, including 36 type specimens from collections gathered from four continents across 24 countries.

Additional Metadata

Purpose The primary goal of this publication is to make data on the global distribution of species in the Reticulariaceae family available. Over the past decade, significant changes in the taxonomy of this family have occurred, but these changes have not yet been incorporated into identification literature. Many traditional species such as Tubifera ferruginosa, T. casparyi, T. microsperma, Lycogala epidendrum, and L. exiguum have been redefined more narrowly based on molecular data. Consequently, their geographical distribution appeared to be more limited than previously believed. Previously published data on the distribution of these taxa should therefore be used with caution. Our dataset offers reliable information about the distribution of such revised species, as well as recently described taxa, whose identification has been confirmed with molecular barcoding and meticulous morphological studies.
