The fungal kingdom comprises a hyperdiverse clade of heterotrophic eukaryotes
characterized by the presence of a chitinous cell wall, the loss of phagotrophic capabilities …

The question of how phenotypic and genomic complexity are inter‐related and how they are
shaped through evolution is a central question in biology that historically has been …

Phylonyms is an implementation of PhyloCode, which is a set of principles, rules, and
recommendations governing phylogenetic nomenclature. Nearly 300 clades-lineages of …

Although fungal communities are known to vary along latitudinal gradients, mechanisms
underlying this pattern are not well‐understood. We used high‐throughput sequencing to …

The advent of complex multicellularity (CM) was a pivotal event in the evolution of animals,
plants and fungi. In the fungal Ascomycota, CM is based on hyphal filaments and arose in …

Phylogenetic taxon definitions (PTDs) are explicit, phylogeny-based statements that specify
clades. PTDs are central to the system of rank-free classification that is governed by the …

Abstract The class Archaeorhizomycetes (Taphrinomycotina, Ascomycota) was introduced to
accommodate an ancient lineage of soil-inhabiting fungi found in association with plant …

The fungal lineage is one of the three large eukaryotic lineages that dominate terrestrial
ecosystems. They share a common ancestor with animals in the eukaryotic supergroup …

The affinities of Prototaxites have been debated ever since its fossils, some attaining tree-
trunk proportions, were discovered in Canadian Lower Devonian rocks in 1859. Putative …

Discomycetes is an artificial group in Ascomycota, comprising fungal species bearing saucer-
, cup-or disc-like ascoma. There are many records of phytopathogenic discomycetes …
