The role of ectomycorrhizal communities in forest ecosystem processes: new perspectives and emerging concepts
The fungal symbionts forming ectomycorrhizas, as well as their associated bacteria, benefit
forest trees in a number of ways although the most important is enhancing soil nutrient …

Environmental filtering by pH and soil nutrients drives community assembly in fungi at fine spatial scales
Whether niche processes, like environmental filtering, or neutral processes, like dispersal
limitation, are the primary forces driving community assembly is a central question in …

Mycorrhizal networks: des liaisons dangereuses?
Mycorrhizal associations, by which most land plants receive mineral nutrition, are diffuse
and often non-specific. A common mycorrhizal network is formed when fungal mycelia …

Impacts of plant symbiotic fungi on insect herbivores: mutualism in a multitrophic context
We consider how fungi that form symbiotic associations with plants interact with insect
herbivores attacking the same plants. Both endophytes and mycorrhizae have significant …

Mycorrhizal networks: a review of their extent, function, and importance
It is well known from laboratory studies that a single mycorrhizal fungal isolate can colonize
different plant species, form interplant linkages, and provide a conduit for interplant transfer …

The evolutionary ecology of myco‐heterotrophy
Nonphotosynthetic mycorrhizal plants have long attracted the curiosity of botanists and
mycologists, and they have been a target for unabated controversy and speculation. In fact …

Fungal evolutionary genomics provides insight into the mechanisms of adaptive divergence in eukaryotes
Fungi are ideal model organisms for dissecting the genomic bases of adaptive divergence in
eukaryotes. They have simple morphologies and small genomes, occupy contrasting, well …
