Agricultural intensification causes plant diversity loss and environmental homogenization,
which may result in changes to plant-microbiome interactions mediating plant growth and …

Urban green areas are becoming increasingly recognized for their biodiversity potential.
However, little is known about how urbanization shapes cryptic species communities, such …

Disease dynamics are governed by variation of individuals, species, and environmental
conditions across space and time. In some cases, an alternate reservoir host amplifies …

Increasing human impacts on forests, including unintentional movement of pathogens,
climate change, and large-scale intensive plantations, are associated with an …

Accelerated forest dieback has been documented at many locations around the world that
have experienced severe drought, warming, and wildfires associated with global climate …

Predicting fungal community assembly is partly limited by our understanding of the factors
driving the composition of deposited spores. We studied the relative contribution of …

Aboveground fungal pathogens can substantially reduce biomass production in grasslands.
However, we lack a mechanistic understanding of the drivers of fungal pathogen infection …

While it is now well established that fungal community composition varies spatially at a
variety of scales, temporal turnover of fungi is less well understood. Here we studied inter …

Invasive pathogens are becoming increasingly important in forested ecosystems, yet they
are often difficult to study because of their rapid transmission. The rate and extent of …

In light of large-scale urbanization and rising global temperatures, it is essential to
understand how environmental and climatic changes impact the ecology and evolution of …
