Symbiotic associations can be disrupted by disturbance or by changing environmental
conditions. Endophytes are fungal and bacterial symbionts of plants that can affect …

Aquatic ecosystems contain tremendous plant and microbial diversity. However, little is
known about endophyte diversity in aquatic plants. In this study, we investigated the diversity …

Increases in the frequency and intensity of hurricanes influence the structure, function, and
resilience of Caribbean forests. Trees in such forests harbor diverse fungal endophytes …

Little is known about the microbiota that form symbioses with wetland plants. We describe
how endophytes from leaves and roots of baldcypress trees changed along a nutrient …
