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 …

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

Dispersal is a key process that impacts population dynamics and structures biotic
communities. Dispersal limitation influences the assembly of plant and microbial …

Fungi are highly diverse, but only a small fraction of the total estimated species have been
characterized. Often, the extent of diversity and distribution of fungal communities is difficult …

Propagule dispersal is a crucial aspect of the survival and reproduction of sessile
organisms, such as plants and fungi. As such, the colours of fleshy fruits serve as a visual …

Nonstaple food is a food resource which sole consumption does not allow the maintenance
of regular physiological functions, thus constituting a minor portion of an individual's diet …

While there is growing recognition of the importance of traditional knowledge in science,
these perspectives remain underrepresented in research publications. However, the …

Of 1882 fungal species described in 2019, only 3.5% were animal-associated. This
percentage is representative of the poor understanding we have of this group of fungi, which …

Many plants use animal vectors for dispersal. Fruit and seed propagules attract animals
using visual and olfactory signals. Signal evolution is driven by the receiver's sensory …

The fungal kingdom is undoubtedly one of the most diverse but understudied branches of
the tree of life. Fungi play key roles in all terrestrial ecosystems as decomposers, mutualists …
