Fungal parasites are important drivers in ecosystem dynamics today that can have far-
reaching effects on the performance and community structure of other organisms …

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 …

Although there have been scattered reports of fossil fungi and funguslike organisms for more
than 150 years, fungi have been largely ignored when interpreting the complexity and …

Despite a long geological history, information about the role of fungi in the paleoecosystem
is only now beginning to emerge. Not only does the fossil record contain direct evidence of …

Fungi are ubiquitous in the world and responsible for driving the evolution and governing
the sustainability of ecosystems now and in the past. Fossil Fungi is the first encyclopedic …

Parasites are common in many ecosystems, yet because of their nature, they do not fossilise
readily and are very rare in the geological record. This makes it challenging to study the …

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 …

Nothing is sterile. Insects, plants, and fungi, highly speciose groups of organisms, conceal a
vast fungal biodiversity. An approximation of the total number of fungal species on Earth …

Fungi have crucial roles in modern ecosystems as decomposers and pathogens, and they
engage in various mutualistic associations with other organisms, especially plants. They …

Plant–fungal interactions occur at multiple levels and help to shape plant communities and
the ecosystems they comprise. Such interactions may involve competition, antagonism, and …
