Ectomycorrhizal fungi are among the most prevalent fungal partners of plants and can
constitute up to one-third of forest microbial biomass. As mutualistic partners that supply …

Several mechanisms may contribute to the high species richness often reported in
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities, including spatial and temporal partitioning …

In the hyperdiverse fungi, the process of speciation is virtually unknown, including for the>
20 000 species of ectomycorrhizal mutualists. To understand this process, we investigated …

The level of specificity is a key evolutionary and ecological parameter of any symbiotic
interaction. Where diverse classes of mutualists interact, extracting the drivers of spatial …

The assembly of biological communities depends on deterministic and stochastic processes
whose influence varies across spatial and temporal scales. Although ectomycorrhizal (ECM) …

Community compositions of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are similar within the same host
taxa. However, careful interpretation is required to determine whether the combination of …

Saprophytic, ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and pathogenic fungi play a key role in carbon and
nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Whereas more than 50 genomes of saprotrophic and …

It is commonly assumed that ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi associated with temperate forest
tree roots are not host‐specific. Because this assumption relies on species delineations …

Aim Ecoregions and the distance decay in community similarity are fundamental concepts in
biogeography and conservation biology that are well supported across plants and animals …

In northern boreal forests, the diversity of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species is much greater
than that of their host trees. This field study investigated the role of individual trees in …
