Speciation processes in fungi examined through experimental and empirical approaches

Although more than 100.000 fungal species exist, fungi are largely missing in the speciation debate. Speciation theory is based mainly on research on animals and plants and little is known whether fungi conform to general models of speciation. Four differ ent boreal/nemoral wood-decay species com...
