The leaves of plants are colonized by various microorganisms. In comparison to the
rhizosphere, less is known about the characteristics and ecological functions of …

Endophytic fungi are microorganisms that colonize the interior of plant tissues (eg leaves,
seeds, stem, trunk, roots, fruits, flowers) in intracellular and/or extracellular spaces without …

Analytical methods can offer insights into the structure of biological networks, but
mechanisms that determine the structure of these networks remain unclear. We conducted a …

Most insects harbour influential, yet non‐essential heritable microbes in their hemocoel.
Communities of these symbionts exhibit low diversity. But their frequent multi‐species nature …

The increasing global demand for sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives has led to a
growing interest in the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of high …

Plant and fungal species interactions drive many essential ecosystem properties and
processes; however, how these interactions differ between aboveground and belowground …

Coastal systems are immensely valuable to humans. They contain unique ecosystems that
are biodiversity reservoirs and provide key ecosystem services as well as a wealth of …

Symbiotic organisms may contribute to a host plant's success or failure to grow, its ability to
maintain viable populations, and potentially, its probability of establishment and spread …

Understanding the complex interactions between trees and fungi is crucial for forest
ecosystem management, yet the influence of tree mycorrhizal types, species identity, and …

Fungal symbionts can buffer plants from environmental extremes and may affect host
capacities to acclimate, adapt, or redistribute under environmental change; however, the …
