Phylogenetic taxon definitions for Fungi, Dikarya, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota

Abstract Phylogenetic taxon definitions (PTDs) are explicit, phylogeny-based statements that specify clades. PTDs are central to the system of rank-free classification that is governed by the PhyloCode, but they can also be used to clarify the meanings of ranked names. We present PTDs for four major...
