What Do the First 597 Global Fungal Red List Assessments Tell Us about the Threat Status of Fungi?

Diversity, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(9), P. 736 - 736

Published: Sept. 7, 2022

Fungal species are not immune to the threats facing animals and plants thus also prone extinction. Yet, until 2015, fungi were nearly absent on IUCN Red List. Recent efforts identify fungal under threat have significantly increased number of published assessments. The 597 in 2022-1 List update (21 July 2022) basis for first global review extinction risk they face. Nearly 50% assessed threatened, with 10% NT 9% DD. For regions a larger assessments (i.e., Europe, North America, South America), subanalyses provided. Data lichenized nonlichenized summarized separately. Habitat loss/degradation followed by climate change, invasive species, pollution primary identified threats. Bias data is discussed along knowledge gaps. Suggested actions address these gaps provided discussion use facilitate on-the-ground conservation efforts. A research agenda mycology assist assessment process implementation effective species/habitat management presented.

New and Interesting Fungi. 6

Fungal Systematics and Evolution, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11(1), P. 109 - 156

Published: June 16, 2023

Three new genera, six species, three combinations, epitypes, and 25 interesting host /or geographical records are introduced in this study. New genera: Neoleptodontidium (based on aquaticum ), Nothoramularia ragnhildianicola ). species: Acremonium (from cooling pad water, USA, Cladophialophora laricicola (on dead wood of Larix sp., Netherlands), Cyphellophora neerlandica lichen brick wall, Geonectria muralis moss growing a Harposporium illinoisense rockwool, USA), hydroponic USA). combinations: deltoidea Anthopsis aciculare Leptodontidium Ramularia Epitypes: Cephaliophora tropica Miricatena prunicola leaves Prunus serotina , Ragnhildiana ferruginea parasitic Artemisia vulgaris Germany), Phyllosticta multicorniculata needles Abietis balsamea Canada), Thyronectria caraganae twigs Caragana arborescens Ukraine), Trichosphaeria pilosa decayed Salix branch, Netherlands). Furthermore, the higher order phylogeny genera regarded as incertae sedis is resolved, namely ( Ascodesmidaceae, Pezizales Helotiales Leotiomycetes Trichosphaeriaceae Trichosphaeriales with being an older name for Plectosphaerellaceae.

Twenty years of big plant genera

Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 291(2023)

Published: May 1, 2024

In 2004, David Frodin published a landmark review of the history and concepts big plant genera. Two decades taxonomic activity have taken place since, coinciding with revolution in phylogenetics bioinformatics. Here we use data from World Flora Online (WFO) to provide an updated list (more than 500 species) megadiverse 1000 flowering genera highlight changes since 2004. The number has increased 57 86; today one every four species is classified as member genus, 14% just 28 Most (71%) growth 2000 result new description, not generic re-circumscription. More 15% all currently accepted described last two are genera, suggesting that groups previously considered intractable now being actively studied taxonomically. Despite this rapid they remain significant yet understudied proportion diversity. They represent global diversity should priority only for taxonomy but understanding patterns evolution general.
