Comparative Analysis of Fungal Spore Flora Among Birds, Insects and Air in a Temperate Japanese Forest [PDF]
Ecol EvolBirds, insects and air each host distinct fungal spore communities in a Japanese temperate forest; birds and insects act as selective vectors, while air provides maximal diversity. Our study highlights the importance of analysing multiple taxa to understand ecosystem‐level fungal spore dispersal and interactions.
