The question of how many species of Fungi there are has occasioned much speculation,
with figures mostly posited from around half a million to 10 million, and in one extreme case …

The oceans appear ideal for biodiversity—they have unlimited water, a large area, are well
connected, have less extreme temperatures than on land, and contain more phyla and …

Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as
follows: Antartica, Cladosporium austrolitorale from coastal sea sand. Australia …

Zygomycete fungi were classified as a single phylum, Zygomycota, based on sexual
reproduction by zygospores, frequent asexual reproduction by sporangia, absence of …

Fungi play many essential roles in ecosystems. They facilitate plant access to nutrients and
water, serve as decay agents that cycle carbon and nutrients through the soil, water and …

Fungal taxonomy and ecology have been revolutionized by the application of molecular
methods and both have increasing connections to genomics and functional biology …

We aimed to enhance understanding of the molecular diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi (AMF) by building a new global dataset targeting previously unstudied geographical …

Filamentous fungi are critical to the decomposition of terrestrial organic matter and,
consequently, in the global carbon cycle. In particular, their contribution to degradation of …

Early efforts to classify Mortierellaceae were based on macro-and micromorphology, but
sequencing and phylogenetic studies with ribosomal DNA (rDNA) markers have …

The increasing popularity of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) DNA metabarcoding
warrants a careful look at the underlying reference databases used to make high-throughput …
