Dark septate root endophytic fungi increase growth of Scots pine seedlings under elevated CO2 through enhanced nitrogen use efficiency. [PDF]

Although increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2 are predicted to have substantial impacts on plant growth and functioning of ecosystems, there is insufficient understanding of the responses of belowground processes to such increases.

A simple plant–mycorrhizal fungal resource trade co‐evolution model explains mutualism stability, extinction and transitory parasitism via fitness feedback

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1429-1441, November 2025.
Summary The mutualism between mycorrhizal fungi and plants has persisted for over 400 million years, despite the mutualism paradox predicting that mutualisms should be evolutionarily unstable due to the fitness advantages of cheating. It is widely accepted that mutual benefit alone is not sufficient for stable mutualism, and so a search for additional ...

Why Conservation of Australian Native Temperate Grasslands Needs to Occur at Different Scales—From Landscapes to Patches, and From Governments to Individuals

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Native temperate grasslands are among the most widespread biomes in Australia, and they have been extensively modified, primarily for livestock grazing and cropping on the fertile soils ideal for agriculture. In the 1980s and 1990s, foundational work by Jamie Kirkpatrick and others brought attention to the widespread loss of these ecosystems ...

Effective dispersal of fern spore and the ecological relevance of zoochory

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2116-2130, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The mechanisms of fern dispersal are under‐studied and there are few data to support the vectors assumed to drive patterns of sporophyte occurrence and speciation. Although wind is generally the fern spore dispersal vector described in the literature, there has always been competing evidence supporting alternate vectors.

Shallow Genome Sequencing for Phylogenomics of Mycorrhizal Fungi from Endangered Orchids [PDF]

, 2019
Most plant species form symbioses with mycorrhizal fungi and this relationship is especially important for orchids. Fungi in the genera Tulasnella, Ceratobasidium, and Serendipita are critically important for orchid germination, growth and development ...

1155. Himantoglossum adriaticum H.Baumann

Curtis's Botanical Magazine, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 369-377, September 2025.
Summary Himantoglossum adriaticum is described and illustrated here as one of Europe's largest terrestrial orchids, bearing spectacular spiral‐tailed flowers with a characteristic goat‐like scent. Endemic to the central and northern Adriatic region but scattered as far north as Hungary, its fragmented populations have declined through habitat loss and ...

Mycorrhizal arbitrage, a hypothesis: How mycoheterotrophs could profit from inefficiencies in the biological marketplace

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1431-1440, June 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mycoheterotrophy, whereby plants acquire both carbon and nutrients from a fungal partner, is an evolutionarily puzzling phenomenon. According to biological market models, mycoheterotrophs have nothing to offer and thus should be shunned as trading partners by ...
