  • Systematics and phylogeny of Cordyceps and the Clavicipitaceae with emphasis on the evolution of host affiliation

    Creator:
    Sung, Gi-Ho
    Abstract:
    Cordyceps is a genus of perithecial ascomycetes. It includes over 400 species that are pathogens of arthropods and parasites of the truffle genus Elaphomyces. Based on the morphology of cylindrical asci, thickened ascus apices and filiform ascospores, it is classified in the Clavicipitaceae (Hypocreales), which also includes endophytes and epiphytes...

  • 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...
