Nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region as a universal DNA barcode marker for Fungi.
Six DNA regions were evaluated as potential DNA barcodes for , the second largest kingdom of eukaryotic life, by a multinational, multilaboratory consortium. The region of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 used as the animal barcode was excluded as a potential marker, because it is difficult to amplify in...Schoch, Conrad L. ; Seifert, Keith A. ; Huhndorf, Sabine ; Robert, Vincent ; Spouge, John L. …

Taming the beast: a revised classification of Cortinariaceae based on genomic data.
Family currently includes only one genus, , which is the largest genus, with thousands of species worldwide. The species are important ectomycorrhizal fungi and form associations with many vascular plant genera from tropicals to arctic regions. Genus contains a lot of morphological variation, and its complexity has led many taxonomists...Liimatainen, Kare ; Kim, Jan T. ; Pokorny, Lisa ; Kirk, Paul M. ; Dentinger, Bryn …

Cryptic Diversity in Colombian Edible Leaf-Cutting Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).
Leaf-cutting ants are often considered agricultural pests, but they can also benefit local people and serve important roles in ecosystems. Throughout their distribution, winged reproductive queens of leaf-cutting ants in the genus Atta Fabricius, 1804 are consumed as a protein-rich food source and sometimes used for medical purposes. Little is...
