Abstract Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces (Yungui Plateau) in Southwestern China are well
known as biodiversity hotspots. We introduce two new species in this study viz., Mucispora …

Inaccurate taxonomic placement of fossils can lead to the accumulation of errors in
molecular clock studies and their generated evolutionary lineages. There are limited fossil …

The subphylum Saccharomycotina is a lineage in the fungal phylum Ascomycota that
exhibits levels of genomic diversity similar to those of plants and animals. The …

Cryptogamic covers extend over vast polar tundra regions and their main components, eg,
bryophytes and lichens, are frequently the first visible colonizers of deglaciated areas. To …

Symbiotic fungi living in plants as endophytes, and in lichens as endolichenic fungi, cause
no apparent symptoms to their hosts. They are ubiquitous, ecologically important …

Marine diatrypaceous fungi are associated with many host species, including Avicennia
spp., Halosarceia halocnemoides (Nees) Paul G. Wilson, Kandelia candel (L.) Druce …

Animals that modify their physical environment by foraging in the soil can have dramatic
effects on ecosystem functions and processes. We compared bacterial and fungal …

The Repeat-Induced Point (RIP) mutation pathway is a fungus-specific genome defense
mechanism that mitigates the deleterious consequences of repeated genomic regions and …

Rhytismatales (Leotiomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota) are an order of mostly plant-
associated ascomycetes with a global distribution. Well known taxa include the Rhytisma tar …

Simple Summary Leotiomycetes is one of the most speciose classes of the phylum
Ascomycota (Fungi). Its species are mainly apothecioid, paraphysate, and possess active …
