In this review, I explore the pervasive but underappreciated role of local adaptation in fungi.
It has been difficult historically to study local adaptation in fungi because of the limited …

A widespread trait amongst fungi is their ability to alter their morphology in response to
environmental stimuli. The type and degree of alteration, which commonly includes changes …

Fungi are hyperdiverse organisms and assemble in complex communities, characterized by
high levels of species richness, turnover, and endemism. However, the origins and …

Opportunistic fungal pathogens can cause a diverse range of diseases in humans. The
increasing rate of fungal infections caused by strains that are resistant to commonly used …

Developmental transitions between single-cell yeast and multicellular filaments underpin
virulence of diverse fungal pathogens. For the leading human fungal pathogen Candida …

Environmental fungi are globally ubiquitous and human exposure is near universal.
However, relatively few fungal species are capable of infecting humans, and among fungi …

Phenotypic heterogeneity describes the variation that exists between individual cells, spores
or other biological entities within genetically-uniform populations of fungi or other organisms …

The way that organisms respond to one another and their environment in natural
populations depends critically on the dynamic processes that produce and limit phenotypic …

Microbial interactions are expected to be major determinants of microbiome structure and
function. Although fungi are found in diverse microbiomes, their interactions with bacteria …

Mechanisms to vary the phenotypic characteristics of fungi are diverse and can be important
for their life cycle. This review summarizes phenotypic variability in fungi and divides this …
