The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the competition between invasive and native plants depends on the soil nitrogen form

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant invasion and nitrogen (N) deposition are escalating global change threats. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are increasingly recognized as critical mediators of plant invasion success, largely through their role in enhancing host nutrient acquisition.

The negative effects of an allelopathic invader on native plant photosynthesis are amplified after tree canopy closure

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many invasive plants produce antimicrobial allelopathic compounds that disrupt plant–fungal symbioses of native species in the communities they invade, influencing nutrient and water provisioning that support photosynthesis.

Hotter, faster, sicker? Warming shifts the cost of infection from individuals to populations

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examines how temperature alters disease impacts across biological scales in a host–pathogen system. We found infected hosts appear healthiest at warm temperatures, yet populations suffer most. This suggests climate warming may intensify disease impacts for populations in ways traditional individual‐level virulence metrics fail to predict ...

A fungal perspective: Ecological reinterpretation of short‐term temporal variation in airborne eDNA

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) is a powerful tool for assessing biodiversity, but its temporal dynamics and applicability to fungi remain poorly understood. Here we discuss how short‐term airborne eDNA variation should be interpreted for fungal communities.
