In this review, we discuss the current status and future challenges for fully elucidating the
fungal tree of life. In the last 15 years, advances in genomic technologies have …

The identification and proper naming of microfungi, in particular plant, animal and human
pathogens, remains challenging. Molecular identification is becoming the default approach …

This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk.
Microbiol. 59 (5)] and retains an emphasis on protists. Changes since have improved the …

The fungal kingdom comprises a hyperdiverse clade of heterotrophic eukaryotes
characterized by the presence of a chitinous cell wall, the loss of phagotrophic capabilities …

Fungi are a highly diverse group of heterotrophic eukaryotes characterized by the absence
of phagotrophy and the presence of a chitinous cell wall. While unicellular fungi are far from …

Animals and fungi have radically distinct morphologies, yet both evolved within the same
eukaryotic supergroup: Opisthokonta,. Here we reconstructed the trajectory of genetic …

Fungi are crucial components of modern ecosystems. They may have had an important role
in the colonization of land by eukaryotes, and in the appearance and success of land plants …

Most of the described species in kingdom Fungi are contained in two phyla, the Ascomycota
and the Basidiomycota (subkingdom Dikarya). As a result, our understanding of the biology …

In taxonomy, precision of species collection data is a cornerstone for advancing research
and its diverse applications. Despite the widespread recognition of the significance of these …

The rhizosphere is a narrow and dynamic region of plant root-soil interfaces, and it's
considered one of the most intricate and functionally active ecosystems on the Earth, which …
