Microcera Pseudaulacaspidis
''Microcera'' is a genus of Ascomycetes, Ascomycete fungus, fungi in the Nectriaceae family. It was thought to be monotypic genus with only one species, ''Microcera coccophila'' As well as former species ''Microcera coccophila'' var. ''platyspora'' being reclassified as ''Microcera coccophila''. ''Microcera coccophila'' was initially found on the bark of young living trees of ''Salix'' and ''Fraxinus'' in France. The genus has been considered as a synonym of genus ''Fusarium'' in major taxonomic revisions. Then Gräfenhan et al. in 2011 resurrected genus ''Microcera'' based on DNA sequence data and accepted four Microcera species, viz. ''M. coccophila'', ''M. diploa'' , ''M. rubra'' and ''M. larvarum'' . Lombard et al. then further investigated phylogenetic relationships of ''Microcera'' based on DNA sequence data and reported that it constitutes a lineage distantly related to ''Fusarium'' but closely related to ''Fusicolla'' and ''Macroconia''. Both within the Nectriaceae fa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...
