Alpine habitats are one of the most vulnerable ecosystems to environmental change, however, little information is known about drivers plant-fungal interactions in these and their resilience climate change. We investigated influence main ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal communities along elevation gradients alpine zone European Alps measured degree specialisation using network analysis. sampled ectomycorrhizas Dryas octopetala, Bistorta vivipara Salix herbacea, soil at 28 locations across five...
Abstract Background Rhizosphere fungi play an important role in plant community dynamics and biogeochemical cycling. While the drivers of fungal assembly have been studied varied ecosystems, it is still unclear how these processes function for rhizosphere soil temperate forests. Furthermore, unknown whether relative contributions determinants remain consistent or vary across ecological guilds. This study used high-throughput next-generation sequencing to characterize communities 247 samples...
Le clade Amidella en Europe (Basidiomycota: Amanitaceae): clarification du controversé Amanita valens (E.-J.Gilbert) Bertault et importance de l'utilisation primers PCR spécifiques aux taxons pour l'identification. Les espèces ser. Neville & Poumarat forment un bien défini, mais certains restent difficiles à discriminer. En particulier, le concept d'Amanita reste controversé. Pour comprendre placement phylogénétique d'un ensemble collections sud Portugal avec nouveau barcode nrDNA, nous...
Species determination in the Amidella clade is notoriously difficult, because of relative dearth diagnostic characters and rather common occurrence homoplasies. This results a substantial number misnamed unnamed collections, misapprehension geographic range known species, gross underestimation species it contains. To assess diversity that should be considered as part Amidella, DNA sequences available for this group were retrieved public nucleotide databases, using combination approaches to...
Abstract The species in genus Amanita section Amidella form a well-defined clade, but some taxa remain difficult to discriminate. In particular, the concept of valens (E.-J. Gilbert) Bertault remains controversial. To understand phylogenetic placement set collections from South Portugal with novel nrDNA barcode, we have obtained sequences for previously unassessed type collections. taxon formerly described as curtipes f. pseudovalens Neville & Poumarat is interpreted separate species,...
