Entomopathogenic fungi play a pivotal role in the regulation of insect populations in nature,
and representative species have been developed as promising environmentally friendly …

Fungal invasions are increasingly recognized as a significant component of global changes,
threatening ecosystem health and damaging food production. Invasive fungi also provide …

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be found in the wild and is also
frequently associated with human activities. Despite recent insights into the phylogeny of this …

Much remains unknown regarding speciation. Host–pathogen interactions are a major
driving force for diversification, but the genomic basis for speciation and host shifting …

Background Structural variation contributes substantially to polymorphism within species.
Chromosomal rearrangements that impact genes can lead to functional variation among …

Background Trunk diseases threaten the longevity and productivity of grapevines in all
viticulture production systems. They are caused by distantly-related fungi that form chronic …

Fungicolous fungi are a very large, diverse, ecological and trophic group of organisms that
are associated with other fungi. This association occurs with species of different lineages …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), an important evolutionary mechanism observed in
prokaryotes, is the transmission of genetic material across phylogenetically distant species …

Domestication involves recent adaptation under strong human selection and rapid
diversification and therefore constitutes a good model for studies of these processes. We …

Much of what we know about speciation comes from detailed studies of well‐known model
systems. Although there have been several important syntheses on speciation, few (if any) …
