Not only transitions in nutritional modes but also niche shifts facilitate mycorrhizal fungal specialization in Burmannia

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 209-225, January 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mycoheterotrophs are non‐photosynthetic plants that obtain all of their carbon requirements through parasitizing mycorrhizal fungi. They originated from the autotrophic ancestors and usually have more specific relationships with fungi than that of green plants, for ...

Differential use of nest materials and niche space among avian species within a single ecological community

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
We assessed differential use of nest materials among birds at a site in Massachusetts, USA. Proportional masses of all material types differed among species. Our study supports the notion that birds using the same environment have distinct niches in relation to the materials placed in their nests.

Linking topography, soil variability, and early successional vegetation in abandoned gold mines in the tropical rainforest of Colombia's Chocó Biogeographic region

Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 7, September 2024.
Soil fertility heterogeneity is one of the main factors affecting early recovery and plant succession toward a target plant community. This study examined the influence of topography on the diversity and composition of plant communities established in areas degraded by opencast mining in Chocó, Colombia.

Photosynthate transfer from an autotrophic orchid to conspecific heterotrophic protocorms through a common mycorrhizal network

New Phytologist, Volume 243, Issue 1, Page 398-406, July 2024.
Summary The minute ‘dust seeds’ of some terrestrial orchids preferentially germinate and develop as mycoheterotrophic protocorms near conspecific adult plants. Here we test the hypothesis that mycorrhizal mycelial connections provide a direct pathway for transfer of recent photosynthate from conspecific green orchids to achlorophyllous protocorms ...

Insights into U‐to‐C RNA editing from the lycophyte Phylloglossum drummondii

The Plant Journal, Volume 119, Issue 1, Page 445-459, July 2024.
Significance Statement U‐to‐C RNA editing is only found in plants, and within plants, only in some hornworts, lycophytes and ferns. The unusual lycophyte Phylloglossum drummondii contains four U‐to‐C editing sites that can be matched with four putative U‐to‐C editing enzymes, making it a useful model for the study of this uncommon process.
