The development of high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has greatly improved
our capacity to identify fungi and unveil their ecological roles across a variety of ecosystems …

Novel high‐throughput sequencing methods outperform earlier approaches in terms of
resolution and magnitude. They enable identification and relative quantification of …

Abstract UNITE (https://unite. ut. ee) is a web-based database and sequence management
environment for molecular identification of eukaryotes. It targets the nuclear ribosomal …

The cryptic lifestyle of most fungi necessitates molecular identification of the guild in
environmental studies. Over the past decades, rapid development and affordability of …

Abstract UNITE (https://unite. ut. ee/) is a web-based database and sequence management
environment for the molecular identification of fungi. It targets the formal fungal barcode—the …

Testing of ecological, biogeographical and phylogenetic hypotheses of mycorrhizal traits
requires a comprehensive reference dataset about plant mycorrhizal associations. Here we …

Fungi typically live in highly diverse communities composed of multiple ecological guilds.
Although high-throughput sequencing has greatly increased the ability to quantify the …

Here, we describe the taxon hypothesis (TH) paradigm, which covers the construction,
identification, and communication of taxa as datasets. Defining taxa as datasets of …

The nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region is the formal fungal barcode
and in most cases the marker of choice for the exploration of fungal diversity in …

Introduction The kingdom Fungi is one of the most diverse groups of organisms on Earth,
and they are integral ecosystem agents that govern soil carbon cycling, plant nutrition, and …
