Multigene Molecular Phylogeny and Biogeographic Diversification of the Earth Tongue Fungi in the Genera Cudonia and Spathularia (Rhytismatales, Ascomycota)
Ge, Zai-Wei; Yang, Zhu L.; Pfister, Donald H.; Carbone, Matteo; Bau, Tolgor; Smith, Matthew E. (Public Library of Science, 2014)The family Cudoniaceae (Rhytismatales, Ascomycota) was erected to accommodate the “earth tongue fungi” in the genera Cudonia and Spathularia. There have been no recent taxonomic studies of these genera, and the evolutionary ... -
A new species of Marcelleina from Italy
Lantieri, Angela; Pfister, Donald H. (Mycotaxon, 2010)Marcelleina mediterranea is described as a new species and is illustrated. It occurs on sandy soil among scattered mosses, in Southeast Sicily (Italy). It differs from other species in size and ornamentation of ascospores. ... -
On Diphymyces (Laboulbeniales, Ascomycota) in Malaysian Borneo
Haelewaters, Danny; Schilthuizen, Menno; Pfister, Donald H. (Botanical Garden Meise, 2014)Background – Laboulbeniales (Fungi, Ascomycota) are microscopic ectoparasites of Arthropoda. Since many Laboulbeniales are known to be host-specific, wet tropical areas with high arthropod diversity are likely to house a ... -
Phylogenetic Diversity in the Core Group of Peziza Inferred from ITS Sequences and Morphology
Hansen, Karen; Laessoe, Thomas; Pfister, Donald (Elsevier, 2002)Species delimitation within the core group of Peziza is highly controversial. The group, typified by <i>P. vesiculosa</i>, is morphologically coherent and in previous analyses of LSU rDNA sequences it formed a highly ... -
Phylogenetic Relationships Among Species of Phillipsia Inferred from Molecular and Morphological Data
Hansen, Karen; Pfister, Donald; Hibbett, David (Mycological Society of America, 1999)The internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA have been sequenced from 29 collections of <i>Phillipsia</i>, mainly from the New World. The <i>P domingensis</i> complex, collections with a range of ... -
A Phylogenetic Study of the Genus Cookeina
Weinstein, Richard N.; Pfister, Donald; Iturriaga, Teresa (New York Botanical Garden, 2002)<i>Cookeina</i>, with seven recognized species, is one of the commonly encountered genera of the Sarcoscyphaceae (Pezizales) in tropical and subtropical areas around the world. Morphologically the species are distinguished ... -
Phylogenetics of the Pezizaceae, with an Emphasis on Peziza
Hansen, Karen; Laessoe, Thomas; Pfister, Donald (Mycological Society of America, 2001)Phylogenetic relationships among members of the Pezizaceae were studied using 90 partial LSU rDNA sequences from 51 species of <i>Peziza</i> and 20 species from 8 additional epigeous genera of the Pezizaceae, viz. <i>Boudiera, ... -
Phylogeny of Cyttaria inferred from nuclear and mitochondrial sequence and morphological data
Peterson, Kristin; Pfister, Donald H. (Mycological Society of America, 2010)Cyttaria species (Leotiomycetes, Cyttariales) are obligate, biotrophic associates of Nothofagus (Hamamelididae, Nothofagaceae), the southern beech. As such Cyttaria species are restricted to the southern hemisphere, ... -
Placement of Medeolaria farlowii in the Leotiomycetes, and comments on sampling within the class
Lobuglio, Katherine F.; Pfister, Donald H. (Springer Science + Business Media, 2009)Medeolaria farlowii, an ascomycetous parasite of Medeola virginiana, has been included as the only member of the family Medeolariaceae and order Medeolariales. Its assignment within the Ascomycota has been problematic due ... -
Placement of the genus Angelina within Rhytismatales and observations of Angelina rufescens
Karakehian, Jason M; Lobuglio, Katherine F.; Pfister, Donald H. (Mycological Society of America, 2014)Angelina rufescens is placed within the core clade of Rhytismatales (Leotiomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota) based on analysis of LSU and mtSSU rDNA. The only species in the genus, it produces distinctive ascomata that ... -
Promotion of Mn(II) Oxidation and Remediation of Coal Mine Drainage in Passive Treatment Systems by Diverse Fungal and Bacterial Communities
Santelli, C. M.; Pfister, Donald H.; Lazarus, D.; Sun, L.; Burgos, W. D.; Hansel Wankel, Colleen (American Society for Microbiology, 2010)Biologically active, passive treatment systems are commonly employed for removing high concentrations of dissolved Mn(II) from coal mine drainage (CMD). Studies of microbial communities contributing to Mn attenuation through ... -
Scutellinia (Pezizales) In Korea, With A New Species and Eight New Records
Choi, Young-Joon; Shin, Hyeon-Dong; Han, Jae-Gu; Pfister, Donald H. (Schweizerbart Science Publishers, 2012)Eleven species of the genus Scutellinia (Pyronemataceae, Pezizales) are recognized in Korea by analysis of macro- and micro-morphological characteristics, substrates and geographical distributions. Eight species are recorded ... -
Systemic Infection of Medeola virginiana (Liliaceae) by the Fungus Medeolaria farlowii (Ascomycota: Leotiomycetes)
Lobuglio, Katherine F.; Pfister, Donald H. (Institute of Microbiology, Academia Sinica, 2013)Primers were designed to specifically amplify ITS rDNA regions of the fungus Medeolaria farlowii. The fungus was shown to be present not only in stem lesions but in apparently uninfected leaves, stems and rhizomes of the ... -
“What a Painfully Interesting Subject”: Charles Darwin's Studies of Potato Late Blight
Ristaino, Jean Beagle; Pfister, Donald H. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016)Charles Darwin's famous voyage on the HMS Beagle led him around the world on a collecting journey that culminated in his theory of evolution. In 1835, the Beagle traveled to the island of Chiloé, and there, Darwin discovered ...
