J Bacteriol 2001, 183:865-872. The authors combined analysis of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA variation and proposed that evidence for recombination in natural individuals of this morphologically asexual fungus reflects ancient matings and that recent reproduction is exclusively clonal.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2001, 98:4558-4562. The authors used hypervariable markers, microsatellites and a collection of 167 individuals from throughout the range of the fungus. The microsatellites recognize populations that correlate with geographic distance, showing that fungal populations may occupy ranges smaller than might be guessed from their potential for dispersal. The data also point to a recent migration of the fungus into Latin America.
