TL;DR: A novel high fidelity primer pair for TEF1α has potential as a supplementary DNA barcode with superior resolution to ITS, while TOPI and LNS2 are attractive for the Pucciniomycotina, for which universal primers for ribosomal subunits often fail.

TL;DR: This manuscript provides guidelines for the naming and identification of phylogenetic species in Alternaria sect.

TL;DR: Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: Australia: Banksiophoma australsis on Banksia coccinea, Davidiellomyces australiensis on Cyperaceae, Didymocyrtis banksiae on banksia sessilis var.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that most rock inhabiting-fungi (RIF) are highly polyphyletic among Dothideomycetidae, mainly within the order Capnodiales, an order otherwise incorporating several families of major plant pathological importance.

TL;DR: Ants in the tribe Attini maintain a 50 million-year-old lifestyle of co-evolution with symbiotic basidiomycetous fungi which they cultivate as essential source of nutrition, indicating a higher diversity of consistently associated species than established to date.
