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 phylogenetically and functionally diverse ubiquitous components of almost all
ecosystems on Earth, including aquatic environments stretching from high montane lakes …

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 …

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 increasing number of new fungal species described from all over the world along with
the use of genetics to define taxa, has dramatically changed the classification system of …

Compared to the higher fungi (Dikarya), taxonomic and evolutionary studies on the basal
clades of fungi are fewer in number. Thus, the generic boundaries and higher ranks in the …

Fungicolous fungi are a very large, diverse, ecological and trophic group of organisms that
are associated with other fungi. This association occurs with species of different lineages …

Environmental DNA analyses of fungal communities typically reveal a much larger diversity
than can be ascribed to known species. Much of this hidden diversity lies within undescribed …

Aphelids are little-known phagotrophic parasites of algae whose life cycle and morphology
resemble those of the parasitic rozellids (Cryptomycota, Rozellomycota). In previous …

In the last few decades, the increasing interest in microalgae as sources of new
biomolecules and environmental remediators stimulated scientists' investigations and …
