The evolution of a mutualism requires reciprocal interactions whereby one species provides
a service that the other species cannot perform or performs less efficiently. Services …

Ant–plant symbioses involve plants that provide hollow structures specialized for housing
ants and often food to ants. In return, the inhabiting ants protect plants against herbivores …

In this paper we revisit the Capnodiaceae with notes on selected genera. Type specimens of
the ascomycetous genera Aithaloderma, Anopeltis, Callebaea, Capnodaria, Echinothecium …

Chaetothyriales is an ascomycetous order within Eurotiomycetes. The order is particularly
known through the black yeasts and filamentous relatives that cause opportunistic infections …

Within the Formicidae, the higher classification of nearly all subfamilies has been recently
revised given the findings of molecular phylogenetics. Here, we integrate morphology and …

Fungi can provide insects with nutrients and essential elements, detoxify plant defenses in
recently dead wood, and protect or, in contrast, attack and digest insects. Insects can affect …

Fungi in the order Chaetothyriales are renowned for their ability to cause human infections.
Nevertheless, they are not regarded as primary pathogens, but rather as opportunists with a …

Based on pure culture studies and DNA phylogenetic analyses, black yeasts
(Chaetothyriales, Ascomycota) are shown to be widely distributed and important …

It is probable that nearly every natural product structure results from interactions between
organisms. Symbiosis, a subset of inter-organism interactions involving closely associated …

Deadwood is a key component for biodiversity and ecosystem services in boreal forests;
however, the abundance of this critical element is declining worldwide. In natural forests …
