Effective dispersal of fern spore and the ecological relevance of zoochory
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.

Successional changes in mycorrhizal type in the pioneer plant communities of a subalpine volcanic desert on Mt. Fuji, Japan [PDF]
Isolated island-like plant communities dominated by the perennial herb Polygonum cuspidatum are typical pioneer vegetation in the subalpine volcanic deserts of Japan.

Identification of the Orchid Mycorrhizal Fungi Isolated from the Roots of Korean Native Orchid
The orchid symbiotic fungi were isolated from the roots of Korean native orchid (Cymbidium goeringu) collected and Chinese orchid (C. sinense) obtained from greenhouses. They were identified as a species of Rhizoctonia, based on the sequences of 18 r rDNA, the microscopic observations of mycelia, and the symbiotic relationships with commercial orchids.

1156. Orchis patens Desf. subsp. brevicornis (Viv.) Asch. & Graeb.
Summary Orchis patens is described and illustrated. It is a species with a narrow disjunct distribution in the Mediterranean basin, and its populations have suffered declines over the past half‐century. We summarise its nomenclature, detailed morphology, cytology, symbiotic mycorrhizal associations, pollination biology, seed micromorphology, evolution ...

1155. Himantoglossum adriaticum H.Baumann
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 ...

Dispersal limitation and seed predation drive rarity of a plant species at its range edge
Contrary to the assumption that species occur at a low frequency near their range edges due to a lack of suitable habitat, we found that dispersal limitation coupled with biotic interactions can predominantly drive the rarity of Stylophorum diphyllum. Habitat suitability estimated by the species distribution model did not predict seedling emergence or ...

Orchids are known for their vast diversity and dependency on mycorrhizal fungi. Under in situ conditions, the biotic and abiotic factors determining the composition and distribution of orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) communities remain largely unexplored.
