Abstract Aim To understand how the integration of contextual spatial data on land cover and human infrastructure can help reduce bias in sampling effort, improve utilization citizen science‐based species recording schemes. By comparing four different science projects, we explore design's complexity affects role these biases. Location Denmark, Europe. Methods We used a point process model to estimate effect intensity observations from then use results predict areas under‐ oversampling as well...
Understanding the variation in community composition and species abundances (i.e., β-diversity) is at heart of ecology. A common approach to examine β-diversity evaluate directional by measuring decay similarity among pairs communities along spatial or environmental distance. We provide first global synthesis taxonomic functional distance analysing 148 datasets comprising different types organisms environments.
Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However, compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns conservation needs of fungi have been little explored. Here, we examined endemicity patterns, global change vulnerability priority areas for functional groups soil based on six surveys using a high-resolution, long-read metabarcoding approach. We found that all most peaks in tropical habitats, including Amazonia, Yucatan, West-Central...
How the multiple facets of soil fungal diversity vary worldwide remains virtually unknown, hindering management this essential species-rich group. By sequencing high-resolution DNA markers in over 4000 topsoil samples from natural and human-altered ecosystems across all continents, we illustrate distributions drivers different levels taxonomic phylogenetic fungi their ecological groups. We show impact precipitation temperature interactions on local species richness (alpha diversity)...
Fungal conservation is gaining momentum globally, but many challenges remain. To advance further, more data are needed on fungal diversity across space and time. Fundamental information regarding population sizes, trends, geographic ranges also critical to accurately assess the extinction risk of individual species. However, obtaining these particularly difficult for fungi due their immense diversity, complex problematic taxonomy, cryptic nature. This paper explores how citizen science (CS)...
Abstract Aim Fungi are drivers of wood decay in forested ecosystem, while bryophytes use dead as a platform for their autotrophic lifestyle. We tested the hypothesis that fungal communities on beech logs mainly structured by substrate quality, bryophyte climatic gradients. In addition, we whether community structure both organism groups is altered along gradient from nearly pristine forest to forests heavily affected management and human disturbance past. Location Europe. Methods surveyed...
Abstract Sexual spores are important for the dispersal and population dynamics of fungi. They show remarkable morphological diversity, but underlying forces driving spore evolution poorly known. We investigated whether trophic status substrate associations associated with morphology in 787 macrofungal genera. that both size ornamentation specialization, so large ornamented more probable ectomycorrhizal than saprotrophic This suggests facilitates attachment to arthropod vectors, which species...
The article presents an AI-based fungi species recognition system for a citizen-science community. system's real-time identification too - FungiVision with mobile application front-end, led to increased public interest in fungi, quadrupling the number of citizens collecting data. FungiVision, deployed human-in-the-loop, reaches nearly 93% accuracy. Using collected data, we developed novel fine-grained classification dataset Danish Fungi 2020 (DF20) several unique characteristics:...
The European biodiversity and forest strategies rely on sustainable management (SFM) to conserve biodiversity. However, current sustainability assessments hardly account for direct indicators. We focused multi-taxon to: i) gather map the existing information; ii) identify knowledge research gaps; iii) discuss its potential. established a network fit data species, standing trees, lying deadwood sampling unit description from 34 local datasets across 3591 units. A total of 8724 species were...
