In the fungal kingdom, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis has evolved independently in
multiple groups that are referred to as lineages. A growing number of molecular studies in …

Dispersal is a fundamental biological process, operating at multiple temporal and spatial
scales. Despite an increasing understanding of fungal biodiversity, most research on fungal …

Despite having key functions in terrestrial ecosystems, information on the dominant soil fungi
and their ecological preferences at the global scale is lacking. To fill this knowledge gap, we …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

The Basidiomycota constitutes a major phylum of the kingdom Fungi and is second in
species numbers to the Ascomycota. The present work provides an overview of all validly …

Introduction The kingdom Fungi is one of the most diverse groups of organisms on Earth,
and they are integral ecosystem agents that govern soil carbon cycling, plant nutrition, and …

Fungi play key roles in ecosystems as mutualists, pathogens, and decomposers. Current
estimates of global species richness are highly uncertain, and the importance of stochastic …

Dispersal plays a prominent role in most conceptual models of community assembly.
However, direct measurement of dispersal across a whole community is difficult at …

This study assessed the fungal community composition and its relationships with properties
of surface soils in the Ny-Ålesund Region (Svalbard, High Arctic). A total of thirteen soil …

Knowledge of spatiotemporal patterns in species distribution is fundamental to
understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes sha** communities. The …
