Correlated evolution in an ectomycorrhizal host–symbiont system
Mechanisms of diversification in fungi are relatively poorly known. Many ectomycorrhizal
symbionts show preference for particular host genera or families, so host–symbiont selection …

Maintenance of host specialisation gradients in ectomycorrhizal symbionts
Many fungi that form ectomycorrhizas exhibit a degree of host specialisation, and individual
trees are frequently colonised by communities of mycorrhizal fungi comprising species that …
