H.-Y. Wang, S.-Y. Guo, M.-R. Huang, H. T. Lumbsch and J.-C. Wei 2010: Ascomycota has a faster evolutionary rate and higher species diversity than Basidiomycota. - Science China Life Sciences53: 1163-1169. [RLL List # 220 / Rec.# 32283] Keywords: EVOLUTIONARY RATE/ ASCOMYCOTA/ BASIDIOMYCOTA/ SPECIES DIVERSITY/ SPECIES NUMBER/ MOLECULAR ANALYSIS/ NUCLEOTIDE SUBSTITUTION/ FUNGAL EVOLUTION/ FOUNDER EFFECT/ AMINO ACID SUBSTITUTION
Abstract: [Study is based on analyses of the 105 protein-encoding genes and nuclear LSU rDNA datasets. "Our results indicate that the main contribution to the higher substitution rates in Ascomycota does not come from mutualism, ecological conditions, sterility, metabolic rate or shorter generation time, but is possibly caused by the founder effect."]
