Discovering that chytrid fungi cause chytridiomycosis in amphibians represented a paradigm
shift in our understanding of how emerging infectious diseases contribute to global patterns …

Amphibian declines and extinctions are emblematic for the current sixth mass extinction
event. Infectious drivers of these declines include the recently emerged fungal pathogens …

Globalized infectious diseases are causing species declines worldwide, but their source
often remains elusive. We used whole-genome sequencing to solve the spatiotemporal …

The study of plant-endophyte interactions is complex and difficult to decipher. In part, this is
because they are dynamic and diverse; these interactions can be mutualistic …

The increasing number of new fungal species described from all over the world along with
the use of genetics to define taxa, has dramatically changed the classification system of …

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

Fungi are ideal model organisms for dissecting the genomic bases of adaptive divergence in
eukaryotes. They have simple morphologies and small genomes, occupy contrasting, well …

Amphibians across the planet face the threat of population decline and extirpation caused
by the disease chytridiomycosis. Despite consensus that the fungal pathogens responsible …

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) emerged in the 1970s in Australia and the Americas,
causing rapid and catastrophic declines and extinctions of naïve amphibian populations as it …

An account is provided of the world's ten most feared fungi. Within areas of interest, we have
organized the entries in the order of concern. We put four human pathogens first as this is of …
