Fungi are major ecological players in both terrestrial and aquatic environments by cycling
organic matter and channelling nutrients across trophic levels. High-throughput sequencing …

The question of how many species of Fungi there are has occasioned much speculation,
with figures mostly posited from around half a million to 10 million, and in one extreme case …

Fungi represent a large proportion of the genetic diversity on Earth and fungal activity
influences the structure of plant and animal communities, as well as rates of ecosystem …

Fungi are ubiquitous in both natural and human-made environments. They play important
roles in the health of plants, animals, and humans, and in broad ecosystem functions. Thus …

We spend the majority of our lives indoors; yet, we currently lack a comprehensive
understanding of how the microbial communities found in homes vary across broad …

Dispersal is a fundamental biological process, operating at multiple temporal and spatial
