Mutual dependence and shared geographic distributions of ectomycorrhizal fungi and their
hosts suggest that comigration has had an influential role in the evolution of the …

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

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, symbiotic mutualists of many dominant tree and shrub species,
exhibit a biogeographic pattern counter to the established latitudinal diversity gradient of …

This review updates the previous information about ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungal lineages.
Based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence, we recognize four novel lineages …

Mutualisms with new host lineages can provide symbionts with novel ecological
opportunities to expand their geographical distribution, thereby leading to evolutionary …

During the diversification of Fungi and the rise of conifer-dominated and angiosperm-
dominated forests, mutualistic symbioses developed between certain trees and …

In the fungal kingdom, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis has evolved independently in
multiple groups that are referred to as lineages. A growing number of molecular studies in …

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

The ectomycorrhizal fungal symbiont Cenococcum geophilum is of high interest as it is
globally distributed, associates with many plant species, and has resistance to multiple …

Ectomycorrhizal fungal assemblages in tropical regions have remained relatively
understudied compared to temperate ecosystems. Sea grape (Coccoloba uvifera) from the …
