RIP mutated ITS genes in populations of Ophiocordyceps sinensis and their implications for molecular systematics
Different hypotheses have been proposed to interpret the observed unusual ITS (internal transcribed spacer) sequences in Ophiocordyceps sinensis. The coexistence of diverged ITS paralogs in a single genome was previously shown by amplifying the ITS region from mono-ascospore isolates using specific primers designed for different ITS paralog groups. Among those...Li, Yi ; Jiang, Lan ; Wang, Ke ; Wu, Hai-Jun ; Yang, Rui-Heng …

Molecular phylogenetic study of the tribe Tropidieae (Orchidaceae, Epidendroideae) with taxonomic and evolutionary implications.
The orchid tribe Tropidieae comprises three genera, Tropidia, Corymborkis and Kalimantanorchis. There are three fully mycoheterotrophic species within Tropidieae: Tropidia saprophytica, T. connata and Kalimantanorchis nagamasui. A previous phylogenetic study of K. nagamasui, based only on plastid matK data, placed K. nagamasui outside the clade of Tropidia and Corymborkis without...Sabino Kikuchi, Izai A.

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... -

Heterocyphelium leucampyx ( Arthoniales, Ascomycota): another orphaned mazaediate lichen finds its way home.
is a mazaediate genus containing a single species, . The species was originally described from Cuba within the genus ( , ) and later placed in various genera of the collective order s. lat. For the past three decades, was considered an orphaned genus ( ) within the Ascomycota, since...Van den Broeck, Dries ; Lücking, Robert ; Gaya, Ester ; Chaves, José Luis ; Lejju, Julius B. …

The rise of grasslands is linked to atmospheric CO2 decline in the late Palaeogene.
Grasslands are predicted to experience a major biodiversity change by the year 2100. A better understanding of how grasslands have responded to past environmental changes will help predict the outcome of current and future environmental changes. Here, we explore the relationship between past atmospheric CO and temperature fluctuations and the...Palazzesi, Luis ; Hidalgo, Oriane ; Barreda, Viviana D. ; Forest, Félix ; Höhna, Sebastian

Hygrophorus sect. Olivaceoumbrini: new boundaries, extended biogeography and unexpected diversity unravelled by transatlantic studies.
As currently delineated, sect. is a polyphyletic assembly within subg. , encompassing glutinous and pigmented taxa. According to available literature, between a dozen and twenty species may belong in the section, mostly represented in continental and boreal forests of Europe and North America. However, the limited phylogenetic and biogeographic coverage...Bellanger, J.-M. ; Lebeuf, R. ; Sesli, E. ; Loizides, M. ; Schwarz, C. …

Molecular approaches reveal speciation between red- and blue-flowered plants in the Mediterranean Lysimachia arvensis and L. monelli (Primulaceae).
Flower colour has played a decisive role as an evolutionary force in many groups of plants by driving speciation. A well-known example of colour polymorphism is found across the Mediterranean populations of Lysimachia arvensis and L. monelli, in which blue- and red-flowered plants can be found. Previous studies recognized two... -

Discovery and Extrolite Production of Three New Species of Talaromyces Belonging to Sections Helici and Purpurei from Freshwater in Korea.
Three novel fungal species, Talaromyces gwangjuensis, T. koreana, and T. teleomorpha were found in Korea during an investigation of fungi in freshwater. The new species are described here using morphological characters, a multi-gene phylogenetic analysis of the ITS, BenA, CaM, RPB2 regions, and extrolite data. Talaromyces gwangjuensis is characterized by restricted growth...Nguyen, Thuong T. T. ; Frisvad, Jens Christian ; Kirk, Paul M. ; Lim, Hyo Jin ; Lee, Hyang Burm

The Implications of Interrelated Assumptions on Estimates of Divergence Times and Rates of Diversification.
Phylogenies are increasingly being used as a basis to provide insight into macroevolutionary history. Here, we use simulation experiments and empirical analyses to evaluate methods that use phylogenies as a basis to make estimates of divergence times and rates of diversification. This is the first study to present a comprehensive...Carruthers, Tom ; Scotland, Robert W

Mission impossible completed: unlocking the nomenclature of the largest and most complicated subgenus of Cortinarius, Telamonia.
So far approximately 144,000 species of fungi have been named but sequences of the majority of them do not exist in the public databases. Therefore, the quality and coverage of public barcode databases is a bottleneck that hinders the study of fungi. is the largest genus of Agaricales with thousands...Liimatainen, Kare ; Niskanen, Tuula ; Dima, Bálint ; Ammirati, Joseph F. ; Kirk, Paul M. …
