Intraspecific ITS Variability in the Kingdom Fungi as Expressed in the International Sequence Databases and Its Implications for Molecular Species Identification (2008, background): “Evolutionary Bioinformatics 2008:4 amplifi cation from low-quantity samples such as herbarium specimens suggest that the much more easily amplifi ed ribosomal DNA will remain in frequent use for the foreseeable future (Tautz et al. 2003; Bruns and Shefferson, 2004; Blaxter et al. 2005).”
Out of the Palaeotropics? Historical biogeography and diversification of the cosmopolitan ectomycorrhizal mushroom family Inocybaceae (2009, background): “Numerous ECM fungal groups have evolved independently (Bruns et al., 1998; Hibbett et al., 2000; Bruns & Shefferson, 2004; Matheny et al., 2006; Wang & Qiu, 2006) and probably followed the radiation of their angiosperm partners as suggested by Pirozynski (1983).”
Phylogenetic distribution and evolution of mycorrhizas in land plants (2006, background): “Previously, Bruns and Shefferson (2004) estimated at least 12 independent origins of ECM within angiosperms by mapping ectomycorrhizal information provided in Smith and Read (1997) onto an angiosperm phylogeny (Soltis et al. 2000).”
Characterization of North American Armillaria species: genetic relationships determined by ribosomal DNA sequences and AFLP markers (2006, background): “translated gene product, rather than the gene itself (Bruns and Shefferson 2004).”
An open source software package for automated extraction of ITS1 and ITS2 from fungal ITS sequences for use in high-throughput community assays and molecular ecology (2010, methodology): “This makes automated interpretation of the BLAST results problematic and regularly has the effect that a different sequence or even species is presented as the best match than if ITS1 or ITS2 alone had been analyzed (Bruns & Shefferson 2004).”
Enzyme secretion by ECM fungi and exploitation of mineral nutrients from soil organic matter (2011, background): “The saprotrophic potential of ECMs may reflect the fact that the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis has evolved several times independently from presumably saprotrophic groups within basidio- and ascomycetes (Bruns and Shefferson 2004; Hibbett and Matheny 2009).”
Ectomycorrhizal lifestyle in fungi: global diversity, distribution, and evolution of phylogenetic lineages (2010, result): “This estimate substantially exceeds the previous estimates of 7–14 events (Hibbett et al. 2000; Bruns and Shefferson 2004).”
Ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity: seperating the wheat from the chaff (2008, background): “Bruns and Shefferson (2004) further noted that many radiations occurred during episodes of major climatic change, especially the Oligocene – Eocene transition when ECM plants coevolved, and that this evolutionary scenario strongly argues against secondary saprotrophic ability.”
