The Ascomycota tree of life: a phylum-wide phylogeny clarifies the origin and evolution of fundamental reproductive and ecological traits
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 …
