Black locust tree—a potentially important reservoir host of sophora yellow stunt virus in Iran
Black locust ( Robinia pseudoacacia L., Fabaceae) is a shade tree and commonly used in urban green spaces in Iran. In the current study, 13...

Host plants directly determine the α diversity of rhizosphere arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in the National Tropical Fruit Tree Field Genebank
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) typically exhibit reduced diversity in nutrient-rich soils. However, whether the influence of host plants on AMF...

Ectomycorrhizal synthesis between two Tuber species and six tree species: are different host-fungus combinations having dissimilar impacts on host plant growth?
Truffle cultivation has drawn more and more attention for its high economic and ecological values in the world. To select symbionts suitable for...

Warm temperatures and host tree abundance explain variation in directional spread by laurel wilt
The rate at which invading organisms disperse into novel habitats is fundamental to their distribution and abundance. Forecasts of spread often...

Employing phylogenetic tree shape statistics to resolve the underlying host population structure
BackgroundHost population structure is a key determinant of pathogen and infectious disease transmission patterns. Pathogen phylogenetic trees are...

Distinct effects of host and neighbour tree identity on arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal fungi along a tree diversity gradient
Plant diversity and plant-related ecosystem functions have been important in biodiversity-ecosystem functioning studies. However, biotic interactions...

Horizontal transmission maintains host specificity and codiversification of symbionts in a brood parasitic host
In host-symbiont systems, interspecific transmissions create opportunities for host switches, potentially leading to cophylogenetic incongruence. In...

Use of tree species by three species of Magicicada (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) in an Appalachian forest
Periodical cicadas ( Magicicada spp.) are endemic to deciduous forests in the eastern United States. In successional forests, they must partition...

Co-occurring tree species drive arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi diversity in tropical forest
It is still uncertain whether environment or host plant species is more important in determining AMF diversity; although, plant roots are usually...

Temperate tree microbiomes: divergent soil and phyllosphere microbial communities share few but dominant taxa
AimsThe phyllosphere and soil are crucial and distinct microbial spheres in forests, connected through trees that interact with both. As part of the...

“Ectomycorrhizal exploration type” could be a functional trait explaining the spatial distribution of tree symbiotic fungi as a function of forest humus forms
In European forests, most tree species form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal (EM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The EM fungi are classified...
