Ectomycorrhizal fungal communities coinvading with P inaceae host plants in A rgentina: G ringos bajo el bosque

J Hayward, TR Horton, MA Nuñez - New Phytologist, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Coinvasive ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi allow Pinaceae species to invade regions
otherwise lacking compatible symbionts, but ECM fungal communities permitting Pinaceae …

A single ectomycorrhizal fungal species can enable a Pinus invasion

J Hayward, TR Horton, A Pauchard, MA Nuñez - Ecology, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Like all obligately ectomycorrhizal plants, pines require ectomycorrhizal fungal symbionts to
complete their life cycle. Pines introduced into regions far from their native range are …

Lack of belowground mutualisms hinders Pinaceae invasions

MA Nuñez, TR Horton, D Simberloff - Ecology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Why particular invasions succeed and others fail is not well understood. The role of soil biota
has been proposed as important. However, the role of mutualists has received much less …

Ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in endangered Pinus amamiana forests

M Murata, S Kanetani, K Nara - PloS one, 2017 - journals.plos.org
Interactions between trees and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are critical for the growth and
survival of both partners. However, ECM symbiosis in endangered trees has hardly been …

Alien ectomycorrhizal plants differ in their ability to interact with co-introduced and native ectomycorrhizal fungi in novel sites

L Vlk, L Tedersoo, T Antl, T Větrovský… - The ISME …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Alien plants represent a potential threat to environment and society. Understanding the
process of alien plants naturalization is therefore of primary importance. In alien plants …

Ectomycorrhizal host specificity in a changing world: can legacy effects explain anomalous current associations?

L Lofgren, NH Nguyen, PG Kennedy - New Phytologist, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Despite the importance of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi in forest ecosystems, knowledge
about the ecological and co‐evolutionary mechanisms underlying ECM host associations …

Suilloid fungi as global drivers of pine invasions

N Policelli, TD Bruns, R Vilgalys, MA Nuñez - New Phytologist, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Belowground biota can deeply influence plant invasion. The presence of appropriate soil
mutualists can act as a driver to enable plants to colonize new ranges. We reviewed the …

Global patterns of ectomycorrhizal introductions

EC Vellinga, BE Wolfe, A Pringle - New Phytologist, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Plants have often been moved across the globe with intact root systems. These roots are
likely to have housed symbiotic ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi and the movement of plants may …

Co-invasive exotic pines and their ectomycorrhizal symbionts show capabilities for wide distance and altitudinal range expansion

C Urcelay, S Longo, J Geml, PA Tecco, E Nouhra - Fungal ecology, 2017 - Elsevier
We asked if exotic Pinus elliotti seedlings can survive and form ectomycorrhizas at higher
elevations and long distances from their current range, and which ECM partners disperse to …

Ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in high mountain conifer forests in central Mexico and their potential use in the assisted migration of Abies religiosa

A Argüelles-Moyao, R Garibay-Orijel - Mycorrhiza, 2018 - Springer
Abies religiosa forests in central Mexico are the only overwinter refuge of the monarch
butterfly and provide important ecosystem services. These forests have lost 55% of their …
