Plant establishment patterns suggest that ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) inoculant is not
found ubiquitously. The role of animal vectors dispersing viable EMF spores is well …

The influence of life history traits on the dispersal of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi is reviewed.
Spores are liberated from aboveground (epigeous) sporocarps through either ballistosporic …

Patterns of fungal spore dispersal affect gene flow, population structure and fungal
community structure. Many Basidiomycota produce resupinate (crust-like) basidiocarps …

Dispersal is a critical ecological process that modulates gene flow and contributes to the
maintenance of genetic and taxonomic diversity within ecosystems. Despite an increasing …

Predicting fungal community assembly is partly limited by our understanding of the factors
driving the composition of deposited spores. We studied the relative contribution of …

Fungi play an important role in plant communities and ecosystem function. As a result,
variation in fungal community composition can have important consequences for plant …

Aerial dispersal of fungal spores is common, but the role of wind and air movement in
dispersal of spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is largely unknown. Several studies …

Invasion of globally threatened ecosystems dominated by arbuscular mycorrhizal plants,
such as the alkaline prairies and serpentine barrens of eastern North America, by species of …

Advances in ecology during the past decade have led to a much more detailed
understanding of the potential negative consequences of species' introductions. Moreover …

Locations of epigeous basidiocarps of five common ectomycorrhizal fungi with substantial
spore deposits beneath them and of two hypogeous species were marked in the fall …
