Journal ArticleDOI

A higher-level phylogenetic classification of the Fungi

David S. Hibbett, +66 more
- 01 May 2007 - 
TL;DR: A comprehensive phylogenetic classification of the kingdom Fungi is proposed, with reference to recent molecular phylogenetic analyses, and with input from diverse members of the fungal taxonomic community.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconstructing the early evolution of Fungi using a six-gene phylogeny

Timothy Y. James, +75 more
- 19 Oct 2006 - 
TL;DR: It is indicated that there may have been at least four independent losses of the flagellum in the kingdom Fungi, and the enigmatic microsporidia seem to be derived from an endoparasitic chytrid ancestor similar to Rozella allomycis, on the earliest diverging branch of the fungal phylogenetic tree.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bayes or Bootstrap? A Simulation Study Comparing the Performance of Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo Sampling and Bootstrapping in Assessing Phylogenetic Confidence

TL;DR: Computer simulation is used to investigate the behavior of three phylogenetic confidence methods: Bayesian posterior probabilities calculated via Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling (BMCMC-PP), maximum likelihood bootstrap proportion (ML-BP), and maximum parsimony boot strap proportion (MP-BP).
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity and host range of foliar fungal endophytes: are tropical leaves biodiversity hotspots?

TL;DR: Molecular sequence data is used to show that endophytes increase in incidence, diversity, and host breadth from arctic to tropical sites, and to elucidate the ecological roles of these little-known symbionts in tropical forests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assembling the fungal tree of life: progress, classification, and evolution of subcellular traits

TL;DR: This study provides a phylogenetic synthesis for the Fungi and a framework for future phylogenetic studies on fungi and the impact of this newly discovered phylogenetic structure on supraordinal classifications is discussed.
