Diversity and functions of microscopic fungi: a missing component in pelagic food webs (2010, background): “They are often called miscellaneous freshwater mitosporic Ascomycota fungi, whose conidia are not distinctively modified for the aquatic environment (Shearer et al. 2007).”
Untapped potential: exploiting fungi in bioremediation of hazardous chemicals (2011, background): “Basidiomycetes mostly inhabit terrestrial environments and are rare in aquatic habitat”
The fungi: 1, 2, 3 ... 5.1 million species? (2011, background): “More than 3000 species of ascomycetes are specialized for a saprobic life style in freshwater habitats where they have enhanced growth and sporulation ( Shearer et al., 2007 ; Kirk et al., 2008 ; Shearer and Raja, 2010 ).”
An estimate of the lower limit of global fungal diversity (2006, methodology): “Shearer et al. (2006) report that there are 3,400 recorded species of aquatic fungi, but state that many species remain undescribed.”
Role of Fungi in the Biomineralization of Calcite (2016, background): “Finally, they are also common inhabitants of aquatic ecosystems such as streams and lakes and are even observed down in deep-sea environments [23,24].”
Morpho-molecular characterization of microfungi associated with marine based habitats (2020, background): “Introduction Mangrove forests are considered “biodiversity hotspots” for fungi (Shearer et al. 2007).”
Fungi in lake ecosystems (2010, background): “Further insights into biodiversity and ecology of higher aquatic fungi in general are found in Goh & Hyde (1996), Wong et al. (1998), Shearer et al. (2007), and, most recently, Gleason et al. (2008) for lower fungi and Gulis et al. (2009) for littoral fungi.”
Biodiversity and biotechnological potential of microorganisms from mangrove ecosystems: a review (2012, background): “Mangrove forests are biodiversity ‘hotspots’ for marine fungi (Shearer et al. 2007).”
The Freshwater Animal Diversity Assessment: an overview of the results (2008, background): “Estimates on some groups are available, for example, there are 3,047 species on record for aquatic Fungi, 2,000 of which are probably restricted to freshwater (Shearer et al., 2007), and 2,392 species of freshwater protozoans (Finlay & Esteban, 1998).”
