Persoonia: Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution of Fungi

Aims & Scope

Persoonia aims to publish papers dealing with molecular systematics and evolution of fungi.

A further aim is to promote fungal taxonomy by employing a polythetic approach to clarify the true phylogeny and relationships within the kingdom Fungi.

The journal publishes high-quality papers elucidating known and novel fungal taxa at the DNA level, and also strives to present novel insights into evolutionary processes and relationships.

Papers to be considered include research articles, topical and book reviews.
