Detailed analysis of fungal communities in Norway spruce logs reveals stochastic fine-scale patterns of species and detects lichen forming fungi without their photobionts
Fungal ecologists have long been intrigued by the mechanisms behind the high fungal species richness in dead wood at small and large spatial scales. W…

New research article investigates the role of #fungal communities in treeline expansion under global warming, finding that fewer #ectomycorrhizal fungi in alpine soils may limit the establishment of #Betula pubescens seedlings above the treeline.

Elevational range expansion of Betula pubescens may be slowed by lack of suitable mycorrhizal symbionts in alpine soils
The elevational limit for trees is increasing worldwide due to global warming. The elevational range expansion of obligate ectomycorrhizal trees, such…

Short‐ and long‐read metabarcoding of Archaeorhizomycetes reveals high phylogenetic diversity structured by vegetation and climate
Archaeorhizomycetes is a class of globally widespread soil-dwelling fungi, originally proposed to be associated with plant roots, but their ecology and nutritional mode are not clearly defined. To i...

New paper by @aleixpalahi.bsky.social et al in #molecularecology. They unravelled the history behind the establishment of multiple disjunct distributions in Vanessa butterflies, highlighting the importance of long-distance dispersal and introgression in the process.

PAPER ALERT! @jesperboman.bsky.social et al just published @journal-evo.bsky.social. Their work 'On the origin of an insular hybrid butterfly lineage'.
They came up with a #novel #method based on historical #recombination events (Fisher junctions) to understand this hybridisation event.
