Plant traits and taxonomy drive host associations in tropical phyllosphere fungal communities1 (2014, background): “Dothidiomycetes is the largest class within the Kingdom Fungi and is also the most ecologically diverse, with life histories that include pathogens, saprotrophs, and lichenized fungi (Kirk et al. 2008).”
Progress in molecular and morphological taxon discovery in Fungi and options for formal classification of environmental sequences (2011, background): “The names produced by fungal taxonomists enable discourse in all of the human endeavors that concern Fungi, and the hypotheses of relationships embodied in taxonomic names communicate our understanding of the history of life.”
Pathogens which threaten food security: Puccinia striiformis, the wheat stripe rust pathogen (2020, background): “The stripe rust fungus is one of approximately 4000 species in the genus Puccinia, belonging to the family Pucciniaceae, order Pucciniales, class Pucciniomycete, division Basidiomycota of the Fungi kingdom (Kirk et al. 2008).”
Discovery of dark matter fungi in aquatic ecosystems demands a reappraisal of the phylogeny and ecology of zoosporic fungi (2016, neutral): “We have only limited knowledge of these basal fungi which account for a very small proportion of described species (w2300 species; Kirk et al., 2008).”
Tales from the crypt: genome mining from fungarium specimens improves resolution of the mushroom tree of life (2016, background): “The Agaricales is the largest order of mushroomforming fungi, with approximately 22 600 accepted species in 1000 genera (P. Kirk, pers. comm.) and 30 (Matheny et al., 2006) to 33 (Kirk et al., 2008) broadly accepted families.”
Coastal marine habitats harbor novel early-diverging fungal diversity (2017, background): “However, with only ~100,000 circumscribed taxa (Kirk et al., 2008), the overwhelming majority of which belong to the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota (~96,000 species), our current understanding of fungal diversity remains incomplete.”
Conservation strategies for lichens: insights from population biology (2009, background): “A lichen is a stable, self-supporting association of a fungus (exhabitant) (Kirk et al., 2008) and one or more algal and/or cyanobacterial photobionts.”
