To determine whether tree‐fungal associations vary across climatic gradients, over 1000 volunteers sampled tree roots across the eastern United States. Soil fungal communities were impacted by temperature and water availability. Field experiments showed that non‐mycorrhizal endophytes, specifically Cladosporium species, were both more abundant and ...

This research reveals the gut microbiota‐mediated severe foraging environment adaptation of wild small ruminants in the Three‐River‐Source National Park. Unlike Tibetan sheep (TS), blue sheep (PN and Tibetan antelope (TA) often grazed low‐quality herbage in a wildness environment, and the higher microbial diversity and resilient network characteristics

Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

ABSTRACT Numerous specimens stored in natural history collections have been involuntarily preserved together with their associated microbiomes. We propose exploiting century‐old soils occasionally found on the roots of herbarium plants to assess the diversity of ancient soil microbial communities originally associated with these plants.
