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 …

Throughout evolutionary history in the kingdom Fungi, taxa have exchanged genetic
information among species, as revealed in particular by analyses of genome sequences. In …

Fungi are a highly diverse group of heterotrophic eukaryotes characterized by the absence
of phagotrophy and the presence of a chitinous cell wall. While unicellular fungi are far from …

As ubiquitous decomposers, symbionts and parasites, fungi build populations not easily
accommodated by population genetic theory. Identifying and delineating individuals and …

Unravelling the strength, frequency, and distribution of selective variants along the genome
as well as the underlying factors shaping this distribution are fundamental goals of …

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 …

Fungal genomes vary considerably in size and organization. The genome of Microsporidium
contains less than 3 Mb while the genomes of several Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes …

Diversity within the fungal kingdom is evident from the wide range of morphologies fungi
display as well as the various ecological roles and industrial purposes they serve …

Fungi are ecologically important heterotrophs that have radiated into most niches on Earth
and fulfil key ecological services. Despite intense interest in their origins, major genomic …

Identifying the genes underlying adaptation, their distribution in genomes and the
evolutionary forces shaping genomic diversity are key challenges in evolutionary biology …
