Background and scope Plant communities and underlying soils undergo substantial,
coordinated shifts throughout ecosystem development. However, shifts in the composition …

Species delimitation is one of the most fundamental processes in biology. Biodiversity
undertakings, for instance, require explicit species concepts and criteria for species …

ABSTRACT A six-gene phylogeny of the Inocybaceae is presented to address classification
of major clades within the family. Seven genera are recognized that establish a global …

We investigated changes in the root‐associated fungal communities associated with the
ectomycorrhizal herb Bistorta vivipara along a primary succession gradient using 454 …

Fungi are abundant and functionally important in the A rctic, yet comprehensive studies of
their diversity in relation to geography and environment are not available. We sampled soils …

Background Dryas octopetala is a widespread dwarf shrub in alpine and arctic regions that
forms ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiotic relationships with fungi. In this study we investigated …

Several eukaryotic symbioses have shown to host a rich diversity of prokaryotes that interact
with their hosts. Here, we study bacterial communities associated with ectomycorrhizal root …

A historical retrospect and a taxonomic update will deal with Sebacina sl and s. str.,
Craterocolla, Efibulobasidium, Serendipita, Tremellodendron, Tremelloscypha …

Alpine habitats are one of the most vulnerable ecosystems to environmental change,
however, little information is known about the drivers of plant–fungal interactions in these …

Abstract In High Arctic ecosystems, plant growth and reproduction are limited by low soil
moisture and nutrient availability, low soil and air temperatures, and a short growing season …
