Drivers of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community composition in roots : hosts, neighbors, and environment

Creator:

Phillips, Wendy S.

Abstract:

The vast majority of terrestrial plant species live in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). AMF and plants live in complex networks, with roots of individual plants hosting multiple AMF, and single AMF colonizing multiple plants concurrently. Through the exchange of resources, the two partners of this symbiosis can have...

The roles of provenance and phylogeny in recruitment, community assembly, and species coexistence in invaded California grasslands

Creator:

Brandt, Angela J.

Abstract:

Biological invasions pose one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity, but many naturalized invaders coexist with the native community. Community ecology theory provides a framework for understanding the mechanisms by which invaders might coexist with native species or exclude them from the community, thus informing management practices to maximize...
