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 …

Fungi represent a large proportion of the genetic diversity on Earth and fungal activity
influences the structure of plant and animal communities, as well as rates of ecosystem …

Organisms use energy to grow and reproduce, so the processes of energy metabolism and
biological production should be tightly bound. On the basis of this tenet, we developed and …

Elaboration of Bayesian phylogenetic inference methods has continued at pace in recent
years with major new advances in nearly all aspects of the joint modelling of evolutionary …

Increasing our understanding of Earth's biodiversity and responsibly stewarding its
resources are among the most crucial scientific and social challenges of the new …

Accurate taxonomy is central to the study of biological diversity, as it provides the needed
evolutionary framework for taxon sampling and interpreting results. While the number of …

Mechanisms that favour rare species are key to the maintenance of diverse communities,–.
One of the most critical tasks for conservation of flowering plant biodiversity is to understand …

Premise of the Study Large phylogenies can help shed light on macroevolutionary patterns
that inform our understanding of fundamental processes that shape the tree of life. These …

The tree of life is one of the most important organizing principles in biology 1. Gene surveys
suggest the existence of an enormous number of branches 2, but even an approximation of …

The multispecies coalescent model underlies many approaches used for species
delimitation. In previous work assessing the performance of species delimitation under this …
