Conservation of ectomycorrhizal fungi: exploring the linkages between functional and taxonomic responses to anthropogenic N deposition

EA Lilleskov, EA Hobbie, TR Horton - Fungal ecology, 2011 - Elsevier
Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition alters ectomycorrhizal fungal communities, but the
effect on functional diversity is not clear. In this review we explore whether fungi that respond …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi and interspecific competition: species interactions, community structure, coexistence mechanisms, and future research directions

P Kennedy - New Phytologist, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The field of ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) ecology has largely developed outside the
ecological mainstream, owing in large part to the challenges in studying the structure and …

Measuring ectomycorrhizal fungal dispersal: macroecological patterns driven by microscopic propagules

KG Peay, MG Schubert, NH Nguyen… - Molecular …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Dispersal plays a prominent role in most conceptual models of community assembly.
However, direct measurement of dispersal across a whole community is difficult at …

A strong species–area relationship for eukaryotic soil microbes: island size matters for ectomycorrhizal fungi

KG Peay, TD Bruns, PG Kennedy… - Ecology …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
While the effects of habitat size and isolation have been successfully studied for macro‐
organisms, there is currently debate about their relative importance in explaining patterns of …

Order of arrival structures arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization of plants

GDA Werner, ET Kiers - New Phytologist, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Priority effects–the impact of a species' arrival on subsequent community development–have
been shown to influence species composition in many organisms. Whether priority effects …

Root tip competition among ectomycorrhizal fungi: are priority effects a rule or an exception?

PG Kennedy, KG Peay, TD Bruns - Ecology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Competition for root colonization among ectomycorrhizal fungi is well documented, but the
mechanisms determining competitive outcomes are not clearly understood. In a previous …

95% of basidiospores fall within 1 m of the cap: a field-and modeling-based study

TE Galante, TR Horton, DP Swaney - Mycologia, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
Plant establishment patterns suggest that ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) inoculant is not
found ubiquitously. The role of animal vectors dispersing viable EMF spores is well …

Spore dispersal of a resupinate ectomycorrhizal fungus, Tomentella sublilacina, via soil food webs

EA Lilleskov, TD Bruns - Mycologia, 2005 - Taylor & Francis
Patterns of fungal spore dispersal affect gene flow, population structure and fungal
community structure. Many Basidiomycota produce resupinate (crust-like) basidiocarps …
