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 ...

New Insights into the Symbiotic Relationship between Orchids and Fungi
Applied Sciences, 2019 Mycorrhizas play an important role in plant growth and development. In mycorrhizal symbioses, fungi supply soil mineral nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, to their host plants in exchange for carbon resources.

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 ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Using orchid mycorrhizal fungi to facilitate orchid recovery projects is considered to be an effective method for orchid conservation. In this study, we used ex situ seed baiting to isolate fungi to assist seed germination in Paphiopedilum spicerianum, a

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.
