Source-derived summary

Diaporthe eres is a fungal plant pathogen, which is the type species of genus ''Diaporthe''. It causes canker disease in a wide variety of hosts. This species has a long history, having been described many times under various synonyms, for instance, the fungus was illustrated by James Sowerby in 1803 under the name Sphaeria ciliaris, attributed to Bulliard. The name D. eres has been proposed for conservation in order to avoid bothersome name changes due to priority.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Diaporthe eres” as species of fungus. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Diaporthe, eres and species.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1803—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Diaporthe, eres and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Diaporthe eres”, the useful work is to connect “species of fungus” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 16, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3915704. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1803.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
