• Congruent evidence from α-tubulin and β-tubulin gene phylogenies for a zygomycete origin of microsporidia (2003, unknown): “A recent phylogenetic analysis of chytrid SSU rRNA genes identified eight distinct clades, and a number of independent taxa (James et al., 2000).”
• Fungi from the Rhynie chert: a view from the dark side (2003, background): “Based on rDNA sequences, James et al. (2000) suggest that the Chytridiomycota is not a monophyletic group, and that the Blastocladiales interestingly cluster with the zygomycetes.”
• Fungal biodiversity in aquatic habitats (2006, background): “These orders are distinguished primarily on zoospore features (Barr 2001) and are supported by molecular sequence data ( James et al. 2000 ).”
• The New Higher Level Classification of Eukaryotes with Emphasis on the Taxonomy of Protists (2005, methodology): “Karlingiomyces has been placed in a clade outside of the Spizellomycetales based on 18S rDNA sequence data by James et al. (2000).”
• Fungi as Biological Control Agents of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes (2020, unknown): “were transferred to Blastocladiomycota instead of previously accommodation under Chytridiomycota [86–90, 289].”
• Fueling the future with fungal genomics (2011, background): “Until recently (Blackwell et al. 2006; Hibbett et al. 2007), the Kingdom Fungi was classified into four major phyla – Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Basidiomycota, and Ascomycota – based primarily on morphological traits associated with hyphae and reproductive structures (Alexopoulos et al. 1996).”
• One hundred and seventeen clades of euagarics. (2002, background): “Based on molecular evidence, it is now believed that the Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes, Glomales, Ascomycetes, and Basidiomycetes form a monophyletic group sister to the Animals, whereas the myxomycetes and oomycetes, sometimes considered to be Fungi, should be classified outside the fungal kingdom ”
