Leaf-inhabiting endophytes belong to a diverse and active group of plant-associated fungi
harboured in plant-rich tropical environments. Employing dilution-to-extinction cultivation …

Fungal endophytes of tropical trees are expected to be exceptionally species rich as a
consequence of high tree diversity in the tropics and the purported host restriction among …

Processes shaping the distribution of foliar fungal endophyte species remain poorly
