(2026): Cladosporium from caves of the Brazilian savannah (Cerrado) and the description of six new species. IMA Fungus 17: e 191673, DOI: 10.3897/imafungus.17.191673 Abstract Caves are important but understudied reservoirs of fungal diversity, particularly for genera such as Cladosporium (Cladosporiales, Dothideomycetes). This study aimed to characterise the richness of Cladosporium species from six caves in the Brazilian savannah (Cerrado) using an integrative approach combining morphology and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses (ACT, ITS, RPB 2, TEF 1 - α, and TUB). To improve species recognition in Cladosporium, selected ex-type strains were studied, for which RPB 2 and TUB barcodes were also sequenced. Species were delimited using morphology and phylogenetic inferences, supplemented by the pairwise homoplasy index …
