Bayes or bootstrap? A simulation study comparing the performance of Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling and bootstrapping in assessing phylogenetic confidence.
TLDR
Computer simulation is used to investigate the behavior of three phylogenetic confidence methods: Bayesian posterior probabilities calculated via Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling (BMCMC-PP), maximum likelihood bootstrap proportion (ML-BP), and maximum parsimony boot strap proportion (MP-BP).

Reconstructing the early evolution of Fungi using a six-gene phylogeny
TLDR
It is indicated that there may have been at least four independent losses of the flagellum in the kingdom Fungi, and the enigmatic microsporidia seem to be derived from an endoparasitic chytrid ancestor similar to Rozella allomycis, on the earliest diverging branch of the fungal phylogenetic tree.

RECOGNIZING DINOFLAGELLATE SPECIES USING ITS rDNA SEQUENCES 1
TLDR
The results indicate that a between‐species uncorrected genetic distance of p could be used to delineate most free‐living dinoflagellate species, however, recently evolved species, may have ITS p values <0.04 and would require more extensive morphological and genetic analyses to resolve.

Integrating ambiguously aligned regions of DNA sequences in phylogenetic analyses without violating positional homology.
TLDR
A new method is presented that allows the inclusion of ambiguously aligned regions without violating homology in phylogenetic analyses by integrating previously nonaccessible characters without violating positional homology, and can improve branch length estimations when using parsimony.

Major fungal lineages are derived from lichen symbiotic ancestors
TLDR
The results show that lichens evolved earlier than believed, and that gains of lichenization have been infrequent during Ascomycota evolution, but have been followed by multiple independent losses of the lichen symbiosis.

A phylogenetic estimation of trophic transition networks for ascomycetous fungi: are lichens cradles of symbiotrophic fungal diversification?
TLDR
Use of phylogenetic analyses that incorporate these newly recovered fungi and ancestral state reconstructions that take into account phylogenetic uncertainty provide the basis for estimating trophic transition networks in the Ascomycota and provide a first set of hypotheses regarding the evolution of symbiotrophy and saprotrophy in the most species-rich fungal phylum.

Assembling the fungal tree of life: progress, classification, and evolution of subcellular traits.
TLDR
This study provides a phylogenetic synthesis for the Fungi and a framework for future phylogenetic studies on fungi and the impact of this newly discovered phylogenetic structure on supraordinal classifications is discussed.

Phylogenetic relationships of agaric fungi based on nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA sequences.
TLDR
Phylogenetic relationships of mushrooms and their relatives within the order Agaricales were addressed by using nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA sequences to provide a framework for future systematics studies in the Agaricalses and suggestions for analyzing large molecular data sets.
