Root herbivory reduces species richness and alters community structure of root-colonising arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

, 2022
Belowground insect herbivory is an important interaction that can shape ecological communities above- and belowground. A key component of belowground ecosystems are the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi that associate with roots of most terrestrial ...

High Diversity of the Fungal Community Structure in Naturally-Occurring Ophiocordyceps sinensis

PLoS ONE, 2010
Ophiocordyceps sinensis (syn. Cordyceps sinensis), which is a parasite of caterpillars and is endemic to alpine regions on the Tibetan Plateau, is one of the most valuable medicinal fungi in the world. "Natural O. sinensis specimens" harbor various other fungi. Several of these other fungi that have been isolated from natural O. sinensis specimens have

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.

Response of Soil Fungal Community to Reforestation on Shifting Sand Dune in the Horqin Sandy Land, Northeast China

Microorganisms
Reforestation of native shrub on shifting sand dunes has been widely used for desertification control in semi-arid grassland in Northeast China. Previous studies have confirmed that plantation establishment facilitates fixing sand dunes, restoring ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Environmental stressors drive fungal community homogenization and diversity loss in plateau freshwater lakes

BMC Microbiology
Background Fungi play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems by driving nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and water purification. However, the diversity and community structure of aquatic fungi, particularly in plateau freshwater lakes ...

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Insights into the Mycosphere Fungal Community and Its Association with Nucleoside Accumulation in Ophiocordyceps sinensis

Soil microbiomes are critical environmental factors influencing the occurrence and quality formation of Ophiocordyceps sinensis, a valuable medicinal fungus endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, few studies have explored the relationship between
