Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-analysis of deep-sequenced fungal communities indicates limited taxon sharing between studies and the presence of biogeographic patterns.
TL;DR: The small number of OTUs shared among studies indicates that globally distributed taxa and habitat generalists may be rare, and richness estimates suggest the presence of undiscovered fungal diversity even in deeply sequenced study systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supraordinal phylogenetic relationships of Lecanoromycetes based on a Bayesian analysis of combined nuclear and mitochondrial sequences.
TL;DR: Testing of alternative hypotheses revealed that monophyly of Gyalectales and the Pertusariales and placement of Umbilicariales on the Lecanorales branch cannot be rejected with the current data set.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic relationships of Lecanoromycetes ( Ascomycota ) as revealed by analyses of mtSSU and nLSU rDNA sequence data

TL;DR: The phylogeny of Lecanoromycetes (Ascomycota, Fungi) is investigated utilizing parsimony and Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo analyses, and it is suggested that Acarosporaceae, Candelariaceae, Phlyctis and Pycnora are not members of the monophyletic LECanorales, and that Timdalia and Pleopsidium are members of a monophyletsporaceae.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The phylogenetic hypothesis supports the independent origin of lichenicolous fungi associated with climatic shifts at the Oligocene-Miocene boundary and provides novel insight into evolutionary relationships in this large and diverse family of Lichen-forming ascomycetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple evolutionary origins of legume traits leading to extreme rhizobial differentiation.
TL;DR: Analysis of the distribution of different bacteroid morphologies over a legume phylogeny to understand the evolutionary history of this host-influenced differentiation of rhizobia finds at least five independent origins of host traits leading to swollen bacteroids.
