Plant abundance, but not plant evolutionary history, shapes patterns of host specificity in foliar fungal endophytes
Understanding the origins and maintenance of host specificity, or why horizontally‐acquired
symbionts associate with some hosts but not others, remains elusive. In this study, we …

Forest structure and fungal endophytes
K Saikkonen - Fungal biology reviews, 2007 - Elsevier

Fungal endophyte communities in the temperate fern Polystichum munitum show early colonization and extensive temporal turnover
BS Younginger, DJ Ballhorn - American Journal of Botany, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Fungal endophytes have been shown to colonize all land plants,
yet surprisingly little attention has been given to their community composition in ferns. We …
