Uphill Shifts of Fungal Fruiting Due to Climate Change at the Polar Urals

Microorganisms, 2021
Due to the ongoing climatic changes in the Arctic, the ranges of many plants and animal species are rising higher into the mountains, into the treeline; however, such studies are rare for fungi.

The evolutionary ecology of fungal killer phenotypes

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2023
Ecological interactions influence evolutionary dynamics by selecting upon fitness variation within species. Antagonistic interactions often promote genetic and species diversity, despite the inherently suppressive effect they can have on the species experiencing them. A central aim of evolutionary ecology is to understand how diversity is maintained in

Shifts in leaf litter breakdown along a forest–pasture–urban gradient in Andean streams [PDF]

, 2016
Tropical montane ecosystems of the Andes are critically threatened by a rapid land-use change which can potentially affect stream variables, aquatic communities, and ecosystem processes such as leaf litter breakdown.

ADAPTATION OF ASPERGILLUS TERREUS THOM STRAINS TO SALINE STRESS IN THE PRESENCE OF PHENOL COMPOUNDS IN SIMULATED CONDITIONS

Известия высших учебных заведений. Поволжский регион: Естественные науки, 2020
Backgrounds. Fungi of the genus Aspergillus are stable residents of soil microbocenoses, are part of endophytic complexes of plant root systems, and play an important role in the processes of decomposition of lignocellulose complexes and humification.

Fungi Affecting Wall Paintings of Historical Value: A Worldwide Meta-Analysis of Their Detected Diversity

Applied Sciences, 2022
Wall paintings have been a cultural expression of human creativity throughout history. Their degradation or destruction represents a loss to the world’s cultural heritage, and fungi have been identified as a major contributor to their decay. We provide a

Darkness visible: reflections on underground ecology [PDF]

, 2005
1 Soil science and ecology have developed independently, making it difficult for ecologists to contribute to urgent current debates on the destruction of the global soil resource and its key role in the global carbon cycle.

Organic matter degradation by oceanic fungi differs between polar and non-polar waters

Nature Communications
Recent discoveries have uncovered pelagic fungi as significant contributors to the recycling of organic matter in the ocean. However, their drivers and whether the environmental filtering on the functional role of prokaryotes also applies to pelagic ...

Branching out: Towards a trait-based understanding of fungal ecology

, 2015
Fungal ecology lags behind in the use of traits (i.e. phenotypic characteristics) to understand ecological phenomena. We argue that this is a missed opportunity and that the selection and systematic collection of trait data throughout the fungal kingdom ...
