Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can benefit plants under environmental stress, and
influence plant adaptation to warmer climates. However, very little is known about the …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread root-associated microorganisms that
participate in many ecosystem processes. However, the response of AMF communities to …

Aim Mycorrhizal fungi associate with the majority of plant species with large consequences
on ecosystem nutrient, carbon and water cycling. Two main types of mycorrhizal fungi …

Allopatric speciation has been difficult to examine among microorganisms, with prior reports
of endemism restricted to sub-genus level taxa. Previous microbial community analysis via …

Analysing diversification dynamics is key to understanding the past evolutionary history of
clades that led to present‐day biodiversity patterns. While such analyses are widespread in …

We compared community composition and co-occurrence patterns of phyllosphere fungi
between island and mainland populations within a single plant species (Mussaenda …

The fungal kingdom is estimated to comprise between 2.2 to 3.8 million species with only
about 7% named and classified. Novel biochemical, physiological and molecular techniques …

It has traditionally been assumed that, compared with other fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizal
(AM) fungi disperse relatively ineffectively due to their large soil-borne spores (Smith & …

The island species–area relationship (SAR) describes how the number of species on an
island varies with its area and provides important information about the maintenance of …

Abstract The Madrean Sky Islands are mountain ranges isolated by a 'desert sea'. This area
is a biodiversity hotspot currently threatened by climate change. Here, we studied soil …
