We invite you to attend our upcoming AMS virtual seminar. This month, we're delighted to feature Ryan Stephens, an assistant professor at East Tennessee State University.Multi-trophic interactions sha...

Ericaceous thickets inhibit hardwood regeneration, particularly of ectomycorrhizal tree species, yet mechanisms underlying effects of the ericaceous s…

Abstract. Fungi comprise millions of species that play numerous varied roles in Earth’s natural and managed ecosystems, engaging in a multitude of positive

It is a gruesome business

Research shows that carnivores play an important role in ecosystem function by providing a largely overlooked mechanism for long-distance dispersal of beneficial mycorrhizal fungi.

Many soil microbes play a vital role in ecosystems, as they help plants access nutrients and water and assist in stress tolerance such as during drought and to defend against pathogens. One such group...

We provide a systematic review of methodologies used to study personality in small mammals. We propose adopting ‘Standardised Experimental Design’ and ‘Behavioural Measurements’ to effectively compar...

Forest management for wood products involves the conversion of primary forests to younger plantations. This has an immediate impact on biota such as ectomycorrhizal fungi, a diverse symbiotic fungal ...

In this review, van Galen et al. use global soil metabarcoding databases to evaluate current estimates of the total number of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungal species on Earth, outline the current state o...

Given how common histograms are in BI tools, you might think they’re easy to design. Think again. We share challenges we encountered, and how we handled them, while designing better out-of-the-box…

To improve our knowledge of evolution and adaptation in urban and anthropogenically impacted habitats, we conducted the widest series of stress experiments to date with three marine taxa: one mussel ...

The repatriation of species is common, especially in conservation efforts aimed at restoring trophic interactions. Whether the Eltonian niches of restored species are conserved in reassembled ecologi...

Large seeds dispersed by scatter-hoarding granivores, such as Fagaceae acorns, tolerate partial damage to achieve higher dispersal efficiency. By demonstrating that seed size itself acts as a defensi...

The ultimate tool for finding the perfect color palette for data visualization with R and paletteer. Explore over 2000 palettes, see them in action on various charts, simulate color blindness, and exp...
