Pushing the frontiers of biodiversity research: Unveiling the global diversity, distribution, and conservation of fungi
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 …

Toward a fully resolved fungal tree of life
In this review, we discuss the current status and future challenges for fully elucidating the
fungal tree of life. In the last 15 years, advances in genomic technologies have …

Fungal evolution: diversity, taxonomy and phylogeny of the Fungi
The fungal kingdom comprises a hyperdiverse clade of heterotrophic eukaryotes
characterized by the presence of a chitinous cell wall, the loss of phagotrophic capabilities …

Fungal evolution: major ecological adaptations and evolutionary transitions
Fungi are a highly diverse group of heterotrophic eukaryotes characterized by the absence
of phagotrophy and the presence of a chitinous cell wall. While unicellular fungi are far from …

[HTML][HTML] Divergent genomic trajectories predate the origin of animals and fungi
Animals and fungi have radically distinct morphologies, yet both evolved within the same
eukaryotic supergroup: Opisthokonta,. Here we reconstructed the trajectory of genetic …

Diploid-dominant life cycles characterize the early evolution of Fungi
Most of the described species in kingdom Fungi are contained in two phyla, the Ascomycota
and the Basidiomycota (subkingdom Dikarya). As a result, our understanding of the biology …

Phylogenomics of a new fungal phylum reveals multiple waves of reductive evolution across Holomycota
Compared to multicellular fungi and unicellular yeasts, unicellular fungi with free-living
flagellated stages (zoospores) remain poorly known and their phylogenetic position is often …
