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 …

The ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis involves a large number of plant and fungal taxa
worldwide. During studies on EcM diversity, numerous misidentifications, and contradictory …

Global species richness patterns of soil micro‐organisms remain poorly understood
compared to macro‐organisms. We use a global analysis to disentangle the global …

During the diversification of Fungi and the rise of conifer-dominated and angiosperm-
dominated forests, mutualistic symbioses developed between certain trees and …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, symbiotic mutualists of many dominant tree and shrub species,
exhibit a biogeographic pattern counter to the established latitudinal diversity gradient of …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi have a worldwide distribution. However, the ecology of tropical
ECM fungi is poorly documented, limiting our understanding of the symbiotic associations …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi form mutualistic symbioses with many tree species and are
regarded as key organisms in nutrient and carbon cycles in forest ecosystems. Our …

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 …

Molecular tools have now been applied for the past 5 years to dissect ectomycorrhizal (EM)
community structure, and they have propelled a resurgence in interest in the field. Results …

The diversity of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi on adult trees and seedlings of five species,
Anthonotha fragrans, Anthonotha macrophylla, Cryptosepalum tetraphyllum …
