[7] sequence data shows that anaerobic chytrids are monophyletic (i.e. they had a single ancestor which was either the ancestral, free-living anaerobic chytrid or the ancestral, free-living aerobic chytrid which invaded the digestive tract of herbivores). In either event, the lack of host specificity [8][9][10] would be sufficient to explain the present day ubiquitous dis
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
