Metacordyceps shibinensis sp. nov. from larvae of Lepidoptera in Guizhou Province, southwest China
TLDR
Combined sequence analyses of 5.8S-ITS rDNA, nrSSU, EF-1α and RPB1 gene-loci confirmed the distinctiveness of this new species of Lepidoptera.Abstract:
A new entomogenous taxon, Metacordyceps shibinensis sp. nov., associated with a larva of Lepidoptera was found in Yuntai Mountains, Guizhou Province, China. It differs from similar species in its white to faint yellow stromata, short ascomata, and very short asci and ascospores. Combined sequence analyses of 5.8S-ITS rDNA, nrSSU, EF-1α and RPB1 gene-loci also confirmed the distinctiveness of this new species.read more

TL;DR: A phylogenetic framework is reconstructed for the Clavicipitaceae focusing on Metarhizium through increased taxon-sampling using five genomic loci (SSU, LSU, tef, rpb1, rPB2) and the barcode marker ITS rDNA.

TL;DR: The role of resident plant communities as a third participating partner in this complex symbiosis is highlighted, suggesting a reproductive strategy of O. sinensis involving a plant endophytic stage that facilitates infection of root-eating host larvae.

Confidence limits on phylogenies: an approach using the bootstrap.
TL;DR: The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.
