The consumption of fungi by animals is a significant trophic interaction in most terrestrial
ecosystems, yet the role mammals play in these associations has been incompletely …

Established ecological theory has focused on unitary organisms, and thus its concepts have
matured into a form that often hinders rather than facilitates the ecological study of modular …

Slugs are important consumers of fungal fruiting bodies and expected to carry their spores.
In this study, we examined whether slugs (Meghimatium fruhstorferi) can act as effective …

The temperate forests of Australia support a high diversity of hypogeous fungi and a wide
variety of mycophagous mammals, yet many mammal-fungal relationships are still poorly …

Context Many mycorrhizal fungi are vital to nutrient acquisition in plant communities, and
some taxa are reliant on animal-mediated dispersal. The majority of animals that disperse …

Little is known about the diets and ecology of New Guinea's 14 bandicoot species. In order
to better understand the diet and digestive morphology of these marsupials, we reviewed the …

Current theories on the evolution of sequestrate (enclosed) basidiomes explain the origin of
these forms in a gradualist adaptational process led by selective forces, such as drought and …

Context Rodents in many parts of the world perform an important ecosystem function as
dispersers of mycorrhizal fungal spores. These fungi are vital to nutrient uptake in plant …

Thirty camera traps were deployed for a total of 4179 trap‐nights between January and June
2020 as part of a project assessing post‐fire recovery of pademelons (Thylogale spp.) in …

Mycophagous mammals perform important ecosystem services through their dispersal of
mycorrhizal fungi (particularly truffles). In order to better understand the role of Tasmanian …
