Fungal ecology plays a crucial role in forest ecosystems, influencing nutrient cycling, plant health, and biodiversity. Recent research has highlighted the intricate relationships between fungi ...

Antarctica, often perceived as a barren and inhospitable environment, is home to a surprisingly diverse range of fungal species. Recent research has focused on uncovering the diversity ...

Researchers at the Bayreuth Center for Ecology and Environmental Research (BayCEER) at the University of Bayreuth have found the first indication that young plants of certain tropical tree species ...

The researchers have published their findings in the journal Functional Ecology. Networks of fungi and plants—so-called mycorrhizal networks, also known as the Wood Wide Web—are highly complex ...

A wagging tail is the universal sign of a happy dog, especially for a rusty golden retriever named Rye. It's his "tell-tail" ...

Some orchids have evolved a unique parasitic lifestyle, abandoning full reliance on photosynthesis in favor of extracting nutrients from fungi. Oreorchis patens serves as a fascinating case, capable ...

Pesticides are causing overwhelming negative effects on hundreds of species of microbes, fungi, plants, insects, fish, birds ...
