Dothideomycetes comprise a highly diverse range of fungi characterized mainly by asci with
two wall layers (bitunicate asci) and often with fissitunicate dehiscence. Many species are …

Unlike most other biological species, humans can use cultural innovations to occupy a
range of environments, raising the intriguing question of whether human migrations move …

Phylogenetic inference and evaluating support for inferred relationships is at the core of
many studies testing evolutionary hypotheses. Despite the popularity of nonparametric …
