Diversity and distribution of tropical ectomycorrhizal fungi
The tropics were long considered to have few ectomycorrhizal fungi, presumably due to a
paucity of ectomycorrhizal host plants relative to higher-latitude ecosystems. However, an …

The pitfalls of biodiversity proxies: Differences in richness patterns of birds, trees and understudied diversity across Amazonia
Most knowledge on biodiversity derives from the study of charismatic macro-organisms,
such as birds and trees. However, the diversity of micro-organisms constitutes the majority of …
