  • Systematics of the genus Torrubiella

    Creator:
    Johnson, Desiree M.
    Abstract:
    Torrubiella is a genus of entomopathogenic fungi in the Clavicipitaceae (Ascomycota). Species of the genus produce superficial perithecia on a loose mat of hyphae that forms directly on the host. The genus is estimated to contain about 70 species. Torrubiella is hypothesized to be a close relative of Cordyceps because...

  • Advances in molecular systematics of clavicipitaceous fungi (Sordariomycetes: Hypocreales)

    Creator:
    Kepler, Ryan M.
    Abstract:
    Historical concepts of Clavicipitaceae have included a broad range of species that display diverse morphologies, ecological modes and host associations. When subjected to multigene phylogenetic investigation of evolutionary history, the family was found to be polyphyletic, largely driven by diversity in the genus Cordyceps, previously containing over 400 taxa. The...

  • Systematics, phylogeny, and biogeography of the hysterangiales and related taxa (Phallomycetidae, Homobasidiomycetes)

    Creator:
    Hosaka, Kentaro
    Abstract:
    Monophyly of the gomphoid-phalloid clade was confirmed based on multigene phylogenetic analyses. Four major subclades (Hysterangiales, Geastrales, Gomphales and Phallales) were also demonstrated to be monophyletic. The interrelationships among the subclades were, however, not resolved, and alternative topologies could not be rejected statistically. Nonetheless, most analyses showed that the Hysterangiales...
