The Ascomycota tree of life: a phylum-wide phylogeny clarifies the origin and evolution of fundamental reproductive and ecological traits (2009)

Schoch, C.L., Sung, G.H., López-Giráldez, F., Townsend, J.P., Miadlikowska, J., Hofstetter, V., ...

We present a 6-gene, 420-species maximum-likelihood phylogeny of Ascomycota, the largest phylum of Fungi. This analysis is the most taxonomically complete to date with species sampled from all 15...

A Functional Vehicle for Autonomous Mobile Robot Research. (2002)

Podnar,G., Dowling,D., Blackwell,M.

Neptune is a tethered vehicle built for autonomous mobile robot research. Included are: the design considerations, the resulting design, and details of the mechanical structure and electrical control...
