Cladosporium Species from Brazilian Savanna Caves, Six New Species Described

A 438.6 KB dataset from figshare, last updated June 3, 2026, characterizes Cladosporium fungal species from six caves in the Brazilian Cerrado savanna. Author Pedro Oliveira used an integrative approach combining morphology and multilocus phylogenetic analyses of ACT, ITS, RPB2, TEF1-α, and TUB genes. The dataset includes descriptions of six new species.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis of Cladosporium species based on multilocus sequence data (ACT, ITS, RPB2, TEF1-α, TUB)
• Taxonomic classification and description of new fungal species based on morphological and molecular data
• Studying fungal biodiversity and endemism in cave environments within the Cerrado biome

Strengths

• Integrative taxonomic approach combining morphology and multilocus phylogenetic analyses of five genetic markers
• Focus on a specific and understudied environment: six caves in the Brazilian Cerrado savanna
• Includes descriptions of six new species, contributing to taxonomic knowledge

Limitations

• Dataset is small at 438.6 KB, indicating limited scope
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the six sampled caves in the Cerrado
