Microsporidia: a journey through radical taxonomical revisions (2009, methodology): “…both fungal and microsporidian diversity were consistent in placing the Microsporidia within the fungi, as opposed to sister to all fungi, and generally consistent in supporting a specific relationship with zygomycetes, specifically the entomophthorales (Keeling et al., 2000; Keeling, 2003) (Fig.”
Mycoinsecticides and Mycoacaricides: A comprehensive list with worldwide coverage and international classification of formulation types ☆ (2007, background): “Finally, although molecular systematics studies have shown the proximity of microsporidians to zygomycete fungi (Edlind et al., 1996; Keeling, 2003), these microorganisms were not considered in this paper.”
Three reasons to re-evaluate fungal diversity 'on Earth and in the ocean' (2011, background): “…that another very diverse groupof elusive organisms, the endoparasitic and protist-like Microsporidia belong within fungi (Hirt et al., 1999; Keeling, 2003), perhaps with a particular affinity with zygomycetes (Keeling, 2003; Lee et al., 2008) or Rozella (James et al., 2006a), but they are…”
The New Higher Level Classification of Eukaryotes with Emphasis on the Taxonomy of Protists (2005, background): “It is argued that chromalveolates are derived from a single symbiosis of a phagotrophic heterotrophic eukaryote with a photosynthetic red alga eukaryote (Keeling 2003).”
Evolutionary studies of ectomycorrhizal fungi: recent advances and future directions (2004, background): “Taking the recent Moncalvo et al. (2002) tree as an example, one can see that the nuc-LSU data often grouped closely related species and genera together with high confidence, but relationships among these groups were often unresolved or resolved with low confidence.”
Impact of DNA sequence-data on the taxonomy of anamorphic fungi (2007, background): “Some unicellular eukaryotes, such as Pneumocystis carinii and Microsporidia are phylogenetically related to the Fungi (Edman et al., 1998; Keeling, 2003; Lutzoni et al., 2004; James et al., 2006a).”
Protist phylogeny and the high-level classification of Protozoa (2003, background): “…bikonts; unikonts. plasmodial in the trophic state, are derived from bilateral animal ancestors by the loss of gut and nervous system (Okamura et al. 2002) and that the anaerobic microsporidia evolved from aerobic filamentous zygomycotine fungi (Keeling 2003) as postulated (Cavalier-Smith 2000a).”
Assembling the fungal tree of life: progress, classification, and evolution of subcellular traits. (2004, methodology): “Traditionally, the Zygomycota comprise a diverse assemblage of taxa that include soil saprobes (Mucorales), symbionts of arthropods (Trichomycetes), and the widespread arbuscular mycorrhizae of plants (Glomerales; now recognized as a separate phylum Glomeromycota; Schüßler et al., 2001).”
