Abstract Several species of soil free‐living saprotrophs can sometimes establish biotrophic symbiosis with plants, but the basic biology this association remains largely unknown. Here, we investigate symbiotic interaction between a common saprotroph, Clitopilus hobsonii (Agaricomycetes), and American sweetgum ( Liquidambar styraciflua ). The colonized root cortical cells were found to contain numerous microsclerotia‐like structures. Fungal colonization led increased plant growth facilitated...
Abstract Deterministic and stochastic forces both drive microbiota assembly in animals, yet their relative contribution remains elusive, especially wild aquatic-insect-associated fungal communities. Here, we applied amplicon sequencing to survey the mechanisms of community 155 stonefly individuals involving 44 species 20 genera within eight families collected from multiple locations China. Analysis showed that diversity network complexity differed significantly among families, communities...
Background and Objectives: As urbanisation is a significant global trend, there profound need for biodiversity protection in urban ecosystems. Moreover, the potential of green space to support should be appreciated. Butterflies are environmental indicators that sensitive urbanisation. Therefore, it important identify butterfly distribution patterns factors influencing diversity species composition parks within cities. Research Highlights: To our knowledge, ours first study evaluating effects...
Abstract Understanding how organisms adapt to extreme living conditions is central evolutionary biology. Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) constitute an important component of the root mycobiome and they are often able alleviate host abiotic stresses. Here, we investigated molecular mechanisms underlying beneficial association between DSE Laburnicola rhizohalophila its host, native halophyte Suaeda salsa, using population genomics. Based on genome-wide Fst (pairwise fixation index) Vst...

Here, we investigate symbiotic interaction between a common saprotroph, Clitopilus hobsonii (Agaricomycetes), and American sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Notably, colonized root cortical cells contain numerous microsclerotia-like structures. Fungal colonization led to increased plant growth facilitated potassium uptake,...
