Dual‐mycorrhizal plants are capable of associating with fungi that form characteristic
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) structures. Here, we address the …

Given that arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are not consistently beneficial to their host
plants, it is difficult to explain the evolutionary persistence of this relationship. We tested the …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses are formed by approximately 80% of vascular plant
species in all major terrestrial biomes. In consequence an understanding of their functions is …

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus contributes to system processes and functions at
various hierarchical organizational levels, through their establishment of linkages and …

Mutualistic symbioses with mycorrhizal fungi are widespread in plants. The majority of plant
species associate with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. By contrast, the minority associate …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi interconnect plants in common mycorrhizal networks
(CMN s) which can amplify competition among neighbors. Amplified competition might result …

We know a lot about the potential functions of mycorrhizas, but whether or not these are
realized in the field where plants simultaneously experience a range of biotic interactions …

Life-history traits differ substantially among arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal families,
potentially affecting hyphal nutrient acquisition efficiency, host nutrition, and thereby plant …

Mycorrhizal fungi belong to several taxa and develop mutualistic symbiotic associations with
over 90% of all plant species, from liverworts to angiosperms. While descriptive approaches …

Priority effects–the impact of a species' arrival on subsequent community development–have
been shown to influence species composition in many organisms. Whether priority effects …
