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.

TL;DR: In a transitional classification of the Ascomycetes, 109 monophyletic entities (clades) are recognized and the name Lecanidiaceae is proposed to replace Patellariaceae Corda, and Cyanoder–mella to replace Cyanoderma Hohn.

TL;DR: Pleosporales, including Delitschiaceae, Sporormiaceae, Zopfiaceae and Testudinaceae, form a monophyletic group with strong support, and all taxa in the present study that were placed with uncertain position in Dothideomycetes/ChaetothyriomycETes in the current classification by Eriksson, grouped within the monophyletsic Dothidomycets.

TL;DR: An experiment was designed to assess ontogenetic niche shifts in three clonal Vaccinium shrubs in order to examine their recruitment behavior, which exhibited a negative relationship between adult occurrence and recruitment and betweenadult occurrence and juvenile survivorship.

TL;DR: The β-tubulin genes support the hypotheses of an early divergence of Neolecta from superficially similar filamentous ascomycetes and could become a key taxon particularly in comparative studies between the fungal model organisms in the mainly unicellular (=yeast-like) taxa Saccharomyces and Schizosaccharomycles and the filamentous fruit-body forming taxa Neurospora and Aspergillus.
