This is not the final version of the paper ; A decade has passed since the first DNA sequences of aquatic hyphomycete species have become available. They have illuminated aspects of their phylogeny and evolution that were inaccessible by conventional methods. Here we present examples of how the resulting information has modified our knowledge of aquatic hyphomycetes. Generating more and better DNA sequence dat...
Aquatic hyphomycetes occur worldwide on a wide range of plant substrates decomposing in freshwaters, and are known to play a key role in organic matter turnover. The presumed worldwide distribution of many aquatic hyphomycete species has been based on morphology-based taxonomy and identification, which may overlook cryptic species, and mask global-scale biogeographical patterns. This might be circumvented by us...
Resumo da comunicação apresentada no "IX International Marine and Freshwater Mycology Symposium", Chiang Mai, Tailândia, 14 a 19 Novembro 2004. ; Biodiversity is rapidly declining as a consequence of several human activities, leading to an increased interest in determining how species loss affects ecosystem functioning. The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem processes has been widely documented in...
