Impact of DNA sequence-data on the taxonomy of anamorphic fungi (2007, background): “Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants (Wainright et al., 1993; Baldauf and Palmer, 1993; Berbee and Taylor, 2001; Lang et al., 2002; Lutzoni et al., 2004; James et al., 2006a).”
Evolutionary studies of ectomycorrhizal fungi: recent advances and future directions (2004, background): “…the loss of EM habit, which is equivalent to the reacquisition of the saprobic habit in Hibbett et al.’s (2000) analysis, would not have provided species with an open niche, as saprobic basidiomycetes had been well established prior to the evolution of the EM habit (Berbee and Taylor 1993, 2001).”
Phyllosticta—an overview of current status of species recognition (2011, background): “Therefore a single name should be adopted and there are various views to which names should be followed, i.e. the oldest, the sexual state name, the most conserved name, and view maintaining both names (Berbee and Taylor 2001; Seifert and Rossman 2010; Hyde et al. 2011).”
Ecology and evolution of mycophagous bark beetles and their fungal partners. (2005, background): “Ceratocystis and Ophiostoma are members of the pyrenomycetes, which probably arose more than 200 million years ago (Berbee and Taylor 2001), but the two genera are not closely related, and their ancestors may have diverged more than 170 million years ago (Farrell et al. 2001).”
Endophytic fungi in forest trees: are they mutualists? (2007, methodology): “Divergence of angiosperms and gymnosperms was estimated to have occurred about 300 Ma ago based on molecular data (Schneider et al. 2004), and Diaporthalean and Helotialean ascomycetes were estimated to have diverged at the same time (Fig 1) (Berbee & Taylor 2001; James et al. 2006).”
Fungi from the Rhynie chert: a view from the dark side (2003, background): “Fossil fungi possess a limited number of useful characters with which to identify taxa; we have relied on the traditional classification that defines four phyla: Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota (McLaughlin & McLaughlin 2001), but also recognise the Glomeromycota, a monophy”
Phylogeny and evolution of the powdery mildew fungi (Erysiphales, Ascomycota) inferred from nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences (2004, background): “Berbee and Taylor (2001) corrected their molecular clock to 1.26%/100 myr based on new fossil records.”
High-level classification of the Fungi and a tool for evolutionary ecological analyses (2018, background): “The offset is based on minimum inferred data for this node (Berbee and Taylor 2001), and the distribution was set to accommodate for other inferred dates (Table 1), which averaged 1028.7 Ma.”
