New research article investigates the role of #fungal communities in treeline expansion under global warming, finding that fewer #ectomycorrhizal fungi in alpine soils may limit the establishment of #Betula pubescens seedlings above the treeline.

The elevational limit for trees is increasing worldwide due to global warming. The elevational range expansion of obligate ectomycorrhizal trees, such…

Abstract. Sex differences in gene expression are ubiquitous, evolve quickly, and are expected to underlie phenotypic sexual dimorphism (SD). Despite long-s
Fungal ecologists have long been intrigued by the mechanisms behind the high fungal species richness in dead wood at small and large spatial scales. W…
