Abstract Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed
rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 …

A comprehensive account of fungal classification from freshwater habitats is outlined and
discussed in the present review based on literature of biodiversity studies and recent …

As terrestrial leaf litter decomposes in rivers, its constituent elements follow multiple
pathways. Carbon leached as dissolved organic matter can be quickly taken up by …

"… a number of chapters provide excellent summaries of the modern methods available for
studying fungal ecology, along with those more traditional methods that are still extremely …

In forested streams, leaf litter decomposition is a vital ecosystem process, governed primarily
by aquatic hyphomycetes. These fungi are crucial mediators of nutrients and energy to …

Ecological stoichiometry investigates how the ratios of elements in organisms shape their
ecology and nutrient and energy fluxes in ecosystems. Despite their global distribution and …

Research into freshwater fungi has generated a wealth of information over the past decades
with various published articles, ie, reviews, books, and monographs. With the advancement …

Chytrids are ubiquitous fungal parasites in aquatic ecosystems, infecting representatives of
all major phytoplankton groups. They repack carbon from inedible phytoplankton hosts into …

Decomposition of plant matter is a key ecosystem process and considerable research has
examined plant litter decay processes in freshwater habitats. Fungi are common inhabitants …

In many ecosystems, detritus is the dominant source of energy and the driver of ecosystem
functioning. In particular, in forested headwater streams, allochthonous detritus (eg leaf litter …
