Sexual reproduction is the basic way to form high genetic diversity and it is beneficial in
evolution and speciation of fungi. The global diversity of teleomorphic species in …

This article is the tenth series of the Fungal Diversity Notes, where 114 taxa distributed in
three phyla, ten classes, 30 orders and 53 families are described and illustrated. Taxa …

Classification is the most important approach to cataloging biological diversity. It serves as a
principal means of communication between scientific disciplines, as well as between …

Although classification at supra-specific ranks is inherently arbitrary, comparable taxonomic
ranks within clades can facilitate more consistent classifications and objective comparisons …

Abstract Background and Aims As angiosperms became one of the megadiverse groups of
macroscopic eukaryotes, they forged modern ecosystems and promoted the evolution of …

Symbioses are evolutionarily pervasive and play fundamental roles in structuring
ecosystems, yet our understanding of their macroevolutionary origins, persistence, and …

Although fungi are one of the most diverse groups of organisms, little is known about the
processes that shape their high taxonomic diversity. This study focuses on evolution of …

Molecular data provide unprecedented insight into diversity of lichenized fungi, although
morphologically cryptic species-level lineages circumscribed from sequence data often …

Lichen biodiversity and its generative evolutionary processes are practically unknown in the
MIOI (Madagascar and Indian Ocean Islands) biodiversity hotspot. We sought to test the …

Identifying factors that influence species interactions is central to research in symbiotic
systems. While lichens represent iconic models of symbiosis and play important roles in …
