Chytridiomycota is the most species-rich phylum of basal lineage fungi involved in vital
processes in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Still, the diversity and richness of this …

Methods for sequencing microbial communities are constantly improving, necessitating
storage of samples for future analyses. However, tests of different storage approaches have …

Microbial communities play an important role in water quality regulation and biogeochemical
cycling in freshwater ecosystems. However, there has been a lack of research on the …

Growing evidence has revealed high diversity and spatial heterogeneity of fungal
communities including in local habitats in terrestrial ecosystems. These findings highlight the …

Aquatic fungi form both morphologically and ecologically diverse communities. However,
lake ecosystems are frequently overlooked as fungal habitats, despite the potentially …

Fungi play crucial ecological and economic roles, yet their diversity and distribution remain
poorly known and challenging to assess. Using recent advances in invertebrate‐derived …

Investigation of seasonal variation in fungal communities is essential for understanding
biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, the conventional sampling method, with …

Aquatic fungi are a largely unexplored group of organisms with a still unknown diversity of
ecological niches. Groundwater biomes comprise vast but poorly explored habitats. In this …

Aim It is unknown whether fungi show similar trends to other organisms in their
macroecological patterns of abundance and spatial distribution. Here, we investigated …

In lakes, fungi play pivotal roles in biogeochemical processes, particularly in the
decomposition of organic matter. However, these organisms have been historically …
