The fungal kingdom includes at least 6 million eukaryotic species and is remarkable with
respect to its profound impact on global health, biodiversity, ecology, agriculture …

Fungi are major ecological players in both terrestrial and aquatic environments by cycling
organic matter and channelling nutrients across trophic levels. High-throughput sequencing …

This article provides an outline of the classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil
fungi. ie dispersed spores, mycelia, sporophores, mycorrhizas). We treat 19 phyla of fungi …

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 …

Microsporidia are obligate intracellular pathogens identified∼ 150 years ago as the cause
of pébrine, an economically important infection in silkworms. There are about 220 genera …

Fungi form a major and diverse component of most ecosystems on Earth. They are both
micro and macroorganisms with high and varying functional diversity as well as great …

High-throughput sequencing studies generate vast amounts of taxonomic data. Evolutionary
ecological hypotheses of the recovered taxa and Species Hypotheses are difficult to test due …

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

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

Protists include all eukaryotes except plants, fungi and animals. They are an essential, yet
often forgotten, component of the soil microbiome. Method developments have now …
