Clonal reproduction is common in fungi and fungal-like organisms during epidemics and
invasion events. The success of clonal fungi shaped systems for their classification and …

Research over the past two decades shows that both recombination and clonality are likely
to contribute to the reproduction of all fungi. This view of fungi is different from the historical …

▪ Abstract Phylogenetic and population genetic methods that compare nucleic acid variation
are being used to identify species and populations of pathogenic fungi and determine how …

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

Understanding patterns of mating and recombination, gene flow, and drift in fungal
populations requires that both sexual and clonal components of reproн duction be identified …

We propose that clonal evolution in micropathogens be defined as restrained recombination
on an evolutionary scale, with genetic exchange scarce enough to not break the prevalent …

In this review on fungal speciation, we first contrast the issues of species definition and
species criteria and show that by distinguishing the two concepts the approaches to studying …

All species continuously evolve to adapt to changing environments. The genetic variation
that fosters such adaptation is caused by a plethora of mechanisms, including meiotic …

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