Abstract<? Pub Inc> The objective of this thesis was to assess the diversity and community
structure of fungi in a forest plot in Ontario using a variety of field sampling and analytical …

This is the first study to assess the diversity and community structure of the Agaricomycotina
in an ectotrophic forest using above‐ground fruiting body surveys as well as soil rDNA …

The Agaricomycotina are a phylogenetically diverse group of fungi that includes both
saprotrophic and mycorrhizal species, and that form species–rich communities in forest …

Threats to our natural areas come from several sources; this problem is all too familiar in
northeast Ohio. One of the goals of the Geauga County Park District is to protect high quality …

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

This thesis explores the diversity and phylogenetic structure of the ectomycorrhizal fungal
community of western hemlock from five forest types on northern Vancouver Island. Chapter …

To understand the factors that structure ectomycorrhizal—basidiomycete communities at a
local scale, we measured the strength of the relations among the fungal communities, the …

Deep Woods is the site of an all taxa biodiversity inventory (ATBI) overseen by the Ohio
Biological Survey. Deep Woods encompasses 114 ha comprised of a diversity of habitats …

Next-generation sequencing technologies with markers covering the full Glomeromycota
phylum were used to uncover phylogenetic community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal …

Research on the molecular systematics of Cortinarius, a species-rich mushroom genus with
nearly global distribution, is just beginning. The present study explores infrageneric …
