The fossil record of parasites is limited thus far. A survey of the fossil record shows that some
modes of preservation show a higher potential for the preservation of parasitic remains or …

Insect parasites and parasitoids are a major component of terrestrial food webs. For
parasitoids, categorization is whether feeding activity is located inside or outside its host, if …

Tyloses are protoplasmic swellings of parenchyma cells into the lumen of adjacent
conducting cells. They develop as part of the heartwood formation process, or in response to …

Fossil staurosporous conidia almost identical to modern conidia of Asterosporium
asterospermum were found from three Central European localities ranging from the Late …

Because it is biased compared to the reality of ancient life, the fossil record requires specific
terminology when dealing with possible ancient biological associations of organisms …

Speciation is a complex and continuous process that makes the delineation of species
boundaries a challenging task in particular in species with little morphological differentiation …

Premise of research. As our understanding of the importance of fungi in ecosystems today
increases, we are still in the early stages of appreciating their roles in the past. The famous …

Palaeomycological material has rarely been reported in Mexican localities, especially
parasitic fungi. In this paper, we present the first formal report of an interaction between an …

Glomeromycotan spores from the Early Devonian Rhynie chert frequently contain evidence
of colonization by other fungi. However, relatively few of these relationships have been …

Parasitic fungi occur in virtually every ecosystem, where they can significantly affect the
functions of other organisms. Fungal parasites were probably also widespread in the …
