Liang, M., Johnson, D., Burslem, D., Yu, S., Fang, M., Taylor, J., …Liu, X. (2020). Soil fungal networks maintain local dominance of ectomycorrhizal trees. Nature communications, 11(1), 2636. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-16507-y

The mechanisms regulating community composition and local dominance of trees in species-rich forests are poorly resolved, but the importance of interactions with soil microbes is increasingly acknowledged. Here, we show that tree seedlings that inter... Read More about Soil fungal networks maintain local dominance of ectomycorrhizal trees.

Diverse groups of fungi are associated with plastics in the surface waters of the Western South Atlantic and the Antarctic Peninsula (2020)
Journal Article
Lacerda, A., Proietti, M., Secchi, E., & Taylor, J. (2020). Diverse groups of fungi are associated with plastics in the surface waters of the Western South Atlantic and the Antarctic Peninsula. Molecular Ecology, 29(10), 1903-1918. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.15444

Marine plastic pollution has a range of negative impacts for biota and the colonization of plastics in the marine environment by microorganisms may have significant ecological impacts. However, data on epiplastic organisms, particularly fungi, is sti...
