The paradoxical rarity of a fruit fly fungus attacking a broad range of hosts [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Understanding the factors that determine the realized and potential distribution of a species requires knowledge of abiotic, physiological, limitations as well as ecological interactions. Fungi of the order Laboulbeniales specialize on arthropods and are
