Abstract We present a 6-gene, 420-species maximum-likelihood phylogeny of Ascomycota,
the largest phylum of Fungi. This analysis is the most taxonomically complete to date with …

Biodiversity loss from disturbances caused by human activities means that species are
disappearing at an ever increasing rate. The high number of species that have yet to be …

An automated procedure was developed to extract orthologous sequences from fungal
genomes and incorporate them into phylogenomic analyses in a timely and efficient manner …

Based on an overview of progress in molecular systematics of the true fungi
(Fungi/Eumycota) since 1990, little overlap was found among single‐locus data matrices …

The primary morphological character that distinguishes members of the phylum Ascomycota
from all other fungi is the ascus. This sac-like meiosporangium contains the meiospores …

Ascomycota account for about two-thirds of named fungal species. 1 Over 98% of known
Ascomycota belong to the Pezizomycotina, including many economically important species …

Ascomycota, the largest and most well-studied phylum of fungi, contains three subphyla:
Saccharomycotina (budding yeasts), Pezizomycotina (filamentous fungi), and …

The filamentous ascomycete genus Neurospora encompasses taxa with a wide range of
reproductive modes. Sexual reproduction in this genus can be divided into three major …

We studied the evolutionary history of the Parmeliaceae (Lecanoromycetes, Ascomycota),
one of the largest families of lichen‐forming fungi with complex and variable morphologies …

The kingdom of fungi provides model organisms for biotechnology, cell biology, genetics,
and life sciences in general. Only when their phylogenetic relationships are stably resolved …
