Societal Impact Statement There is increasing awareness that plants and fungi, as natural solutions, can play an important role in tackling ongoing global environmental challenges. We illustrate how understanding current projected threats to fungi necessary manage mitigate risks, while building of gaps bias assessment coverage essential adequately prioritize conservation efforts. highlight the state art science point methods future studies needed species extinction. Summary Plant fungal...
Generalist hemiparasites may attach to many different host species and experience complex parasite-host interactions. How these interactions impact on the fitness of hemiparasitic plants remain largely unknown. We used experimentally tractable eyebrights (Euphrasia, Orobanchaceae) understand affecting performance a generalist plant. Common garden experiments were carried out measuring Euphrasia across 45 diverse hosts in combinations. show that variation hemiparasite can be attributed mainly...
