Next‐generation sequencing technologies have provided unprecedented insights into
fungal diversity and ecology. However, intrinsic biases and insufficient quality control in next …

Lichen thalli harbor complex fungal communities (mycobiomes) of species with divergent
trophic and ecological strategies. The complexity and diversity of lichen mycobiomes are still …

As self‐supporting and long‐living symbiotic structures, lichens provide a habitat for many
other organisms beside the traditionally considered lichen symbionts—the myco‐and the …

Comprehensive lichen inventories at biomonitoring reference sites provide valuable
ecological information but are notoriously difficult to obtain. Due to the limited number of …

Lichen is a symbiotic mutualism of mycobiont and photobiont that harbors diverse organisms
including endolichenic fungi (ELF). Despite the taxonomic and ecological significance of …

Although lichens (lichen-forming fungi) play an important role in the ecological integrity of
many vulnerable landscapes, only a minority of lichen-forming fungi have been barcoded …

Novel high‐throughput sequencing methods outperform earlier approaches in terms of
resolution and magnitude. They enable identification and relative quantification of …

High‐throughput amplicon sequencing gives new insights into fungal community ecology.
Massively generated molecular data lead to the discovery of vast fungal diversity. However …

Pyrosequencing technologies have revolutionized how we describe and compare complex
microbial communities. In 454 pyrosequencing data sets, the abundance of reads pertaining …

Next-generation amplicon sequencing is a powerful tool in ecological studies of fungi.
Technological development suggests that short fragment high-throughput techniques, eg …
