Lepraria species are diversified chemically and morphologically, and they maintain distinct species across broad distributions, something usually thought to involve sexuality.

Furthermore, an obligate parasexuality of Lepraria explains how it has survived without sex for over 30 M years. Perhaps the Lepraria lineage adopted an alternative life history strategy as it diverged from Stereocaulon.

Where Stereocaulon maintained obligate sexual development, Lepraria instead goes “all in” on the production of soredia and uses meiosis machinery for mitotic recombination instead, reaping the benefits of asexuality without paying the costs.
