Phylogeny of the Zygomycota based on nuclear ribosomal sequence data.
TLDR
A molecular-based phylogeny including recognized representatives of the Zygomycetes and TrichomycETes with a combined dataset for nuclear rRNA 18S (SSU), 5.8S and 28S (LSU) genes is presented.

Phylogenetic analysis of mutualistic filamentous bacteria associated with fungus-growing ants.
TLDR
The first phylogenetic analysis of the filamentous mutualistic bacteria (actinomycetes) associated with fungus-growing ants is conducted, suggesting multiple acquisitions of actinomyCetes by fungus- growing ants over their evolutionary history.

Eccrinales (Trichomycetes) are not fungi, but a clade of protists at the early divergence of animals and fungi.

Specificity in the symbiotic association between fungus-growing ants and protective Pseudonocardia bacteria
Fungus-growing ants (tribe Attini) engage in a mutualism with a fungus that serves as the ants' primary food source, but successful fungus cultivation is threatened by microfungal parasites (genus…

Evidence supporting the occurrence of a new species of endophyte in some South American grasses
TLDR
A phylogenetic species concept is suggested to define species of Neotyphodium which includes endophytes found in multiple grass species, believed responsible for causing the 'tembladera' or 'huecu' toxicosis in animals.

Specificity of the mutualistic association between actinomycete bacteria and two sympatric species of Acromyrmex leaf‐cutting ants
TLDR
The finding that individual colonies cultivate a single actinomycete strain is in agreement with predictions from evolutionary theory on host–symbiont conflict over symbiont mixing, but indicates that there may be constraints on the effectiveness of the bacterial symbionts on an evolutionary timescale.

Phylogeny of the Zygomycota based on nuclear ribosomal sequence data
TLDR
A molecular-based phylogeny including recognized representatives of the Zygomycetes and TrichomycETes with a combined dataset for nuclear rRNA 18S (SSU), 5.8S and 28S (LSU) genes is presented.

Arthropod gut fungi from Puerto Rico and summary of tropical Trichomycetes worldwide.
TLDR
The potential severe underestimation of the diversity of tropical Trichomycetes is highlighted and it is suggested that further surveys are warranted, especially with the current focus on biodiversity and tropical microfungi.
Fungi associated with passalid beetles and their mites
TLDR
A new genus and species of branched fungus, Enteroramus dimorphus, lives in the hindgut of the common eastern North American passalid, Odonto- taenius disjunctus, and in axenic culture the fungus con- verts to a yeastlike growth form.

DNA-metabarcoding uncovers the diversity of soil-inhabiting fungi in the tropical island of Puerto Rico
TLDR
It is demonstrated that soil fungal communities in Puerto Rico are structured by ecosystem, with Ascomycota, followed by Basidiomycota and Archaeorhizomycetes dominating the diversity of fungi in soil.
