Redecker et al. (2013)

The classification presented by Redecker et al. (2013) resulted from a working group composed of taxonomists and systematists with extensive experience in the study of the biology and taxonomy of AMF. These authors recognized that some taxa proposed in previous classifications were problematic and not necessarily well supported by evidences. Thus, after a thorough analysis of the available evidence, a consensus classification was proposed intended to have a biological meaning for the scientific community.
