Naming the untouchable – environmental sequences and niche partitioning as taxonomical evidence in fungi by Faheema Kalsoom Khan, Kerri Kluting, Jeanette Tångrot, Hector Urbina, Tea Ammunet, Shadi Eshghi Sahraei, Martin Rydén, Martin Ryberg, Anna Rosling

“…ABSTRACT Due to their submerged and cryptic lifestyle, the vast majority of fungal species are difficult to observe and describe morphologically, and many remain known to science only from sequences detected in environmental samples. The lack of practices to delimit and name most fungal species is a staggering limitation to communication and interpretation of ecology and evolution in kingdom Fungi. …”

Phage WO diversity and evolutionary forces associated with Wolbachia-infected crickets by Qing-Chen Luo, Yue-Yuan Li, Ye-Song Ren, Xiao-Hui Yang, Dao-Hong Zhu

“…To examine the diversity and evolutionary dynamics of phage WO, we conducted a screening for the presence of phage WO in Wolbachia-infected cricket species from China.MethodsThe presence of phage WO was detected using a PCR-based methodology. To elucidate the evolutionary forces driving phage WO diversity, analyses of intragenic recombination were conducted employing established recombination techniques, and horizontal transmission was investigated through comparative phylogenetic analysis of the phages and their hosts.Results and discussionOut of 19 cricket species infected with Wolbachia, 18 species were found to harbor phage WO. …”
