Endophytic fungi (EF) are a group of fascinating host-associated fungal communities that
colonize the intercellular or intracellular spaces of host tissues, providing beneficial effects to …

SUMMARY True morels (Morchella spp., Morchellaceae, Ascomycota) are widely regarded
as a highly prized delicacy and are of great economic and scientific value. Recently, the …

Genomic data are informative about the history of species divergence and interspecific gene
flow, including the direction, timing, and strength of gene flow. However, gene flow in …

The question of how phenotypic and genomic complexity are inter‐related and how they are
shaped through evolution is a central question in biology that historically has been …

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is ubiquitous in aquatic environment, posing serious threats
to human health, while the potential of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process …

The world's forests face unprecedented threats from invasive insects and pathogens that can
cause large irreversible damage to the ecosystems. This threatens the world's capacity to …

Genomic sequence data provide a rich source of information about the history of species
divergence and interspecific hybridization or introgression. Despite recent advances in …

Clonal reproduction is common in fungi and fungal-like organisms during epidemics and
invasion events. The success of clonal fungi shaped systems for their classification and …

Abstract Background Structural variants (SVs) significantly drive genome diversity and
environmental adaptation for diverse species. Unlike the prevalent small SVs (< kilobase …

Tropical coral reefs are hotspots of marine productivity, owing to the association of reef-
