Fungi comprise approximately 20% of all eukaryotic species and are connected to virtually
all life forms on Earth. Yet, their diversity remains contentious, their distribution elusive, and …

The development of high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has greatly improved

not provide information about the functional composition of sampled communities …

True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (eg Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the
second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 …

As the SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads through human populations, the unprecedented
accumulation of viral genome sequences is ushering in a new era of 'genomic contact …

Climate change is altering the frequency and severity of drought events. Recent evidence
