Across complex, multi-time and-length scale biological systems, redundancy confers
robustness and resilience, enabling adaptation and increasing survival under dynamic …

Covering: 2002 to 2020 In their natural environment, fungi must compete for resources. It
has been hypothesized that this competition likely induces the biosynthesis of secondary …

True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (eg Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the
second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 …

Traditionally, fungal taxonomy was based on observable phenotypic characters. Recent
advances have driven taxonomic conclusions towards DNA-based approaches and these …

• Premise of the study: Fungi are major decomposers in certain ecosystems and essential
associates of many organisms. They provide enzymes and drugs and serve as experimental …

Biotic and abiotic stresses severely affect agriculture by affecting crop productivity, soil
fertility, and health. These stresses may have significant financial repercussions …

Endophytic fungi are symptomless internal inhabits of plant tissues. They are implicated in
the production of antibiotic and other compounds of therapeutic importance. Ecologically …

Lepidopteran insects are one of the most widespread and speciose lineages on Earth, with
many common pests and beneficial insect species. The evolutionary success of their …

Fungal research is experiencing a new wave of methodological improvements that most
probably will boost mycology as profoundly as molecular phylogeny has done during the …

Recent estimates of the global species numbers of fungi suggest that the much-used figure
of 1.5 million is low, and figures up to 5.1 million have been proposed in the last few years …
