June 22, 2021 Oregon State University research has identified the oldest known specimen of a fungus parasitizing an ant, and the fossil also represents a new fungal genus and ...
Nov. 3, 2022 The formation of fruiting bodies for sexual reproduction is a central developmental process in fungi. Even though genetic methods have been applied in recent decades to identify a large number of ...
Oct. 12, 2022 A research group has found a new fungus from the group called Kickxellomycotina. The fungus, which was found on cave cricket feces, represents a new genus that inhabits the guts of animals -- a new ...
Aug. 15, 2022 Scientists have discovered that the vast anatomical variety of fungi stems from evolutionary increases in multicellular ...
Dec. 16, 2022 Research finds that fungus carried by ambrosia beetles works together with a second fungus to cause fig wilting ...
Sep. 27, 2022 A recent study in Japan has found that reared ambrosia beetles, Euwallacea interjectus, can have symbiotic fungi different to those found in the wild. These findings suggest biocontrol implications ...
Apr. 28, 2023 Certain types of fungi can communicate with each other via electrical signals. But much remains unknown about how and when they do so. A group of researchers recently headed to the forest to measure ...
Dec. 10, 2021 A collaborative project has shed light on the fungal genetic determinants that explain why some fungi from the root microbiome can colonize roots and cause disease more efficiently than ...
Feb. 2, 2023 Not only humans are social, ants are too. Group members are taking care of sick ones by providing collective hygiene measures. This presents germs with a task. They must circumvent the immunity of an ...
Nov. 23, 2022 About 600 seemingly disparate fungi that had resisted categorization have been shown to have a common ancestor, according to a a research team that used genome sequencing to give these peculiar ...
