Convergent evolution is common throughout the tree of life, but the molecular mechanisms
causing similar phenotypes to appear repeatedly are obscure. Yeasts have arisen in multiple
fungal clades, but the genetic causes and consequences of their evolutionary origins are
unknown. Here we show that the potential to develop yeast forms...

The ascomycete Geosmithia morbida and the walnut twig beetle Pityophthorus juglandis are associated with thousand
cankers disease of Juglans (walnut) and Pterocarya (wingnut). The disease was first reported in the western United States
(USA) on several Juglans species, but has been found more recently in the eastern USA in the...

study of 209 G. morbida isolates collected
from Juglans and Pterocarya from 17 geographic regions
Resazurin (Raz) and its reaction product resorufin
(Rru) have increasingly been used as reactive tracers to quantify
metabolic activity and hyporheic exchange in streams.
Previous work has indicated that these compounds undergo
sorption in stream sediments. We present laboratory experiments
on Raz and Rru transport, sorption, and transformation,
consisting of...

2.5 Parameter inference
The Lecanoromycetes is the largest class of lichenized Fungi, and one of the most species-rich classes in the
kingdom. Here we provide a multigene phylogenetic synthesis (using three ribosomal RNA-coding and two
protein-coding genes) of the Lecanoromycetes based on 642 newly generated and 3329 publicly available
sequences representing 1139 taxa,...
