Beetles provide directed dispersal of viable spores of a keystone wood decay fungus

The paper shows beetles disperse viable spores of the wood decay fungus Fomitopsis pinicola, potentially aiding its persistence in fragmented forests.

Invertebrate-induced priority effects and secondary metabolites control fungal community composition in dead wood

The paper examines how invertebrate-induced priority effects and secondary metabolites influence fungal community composition in dead aspen wood over time.

DNA metabarcoding reveals host-specific communities of arthropods residing in fungal fruit bodies

The paper uses DNA metabarcoding to analyze arthropod communities in fungal fruit bodies and finds that host traits significantly influence community composition and diversity.

Incorporating trait-based mechanisms, alternative interaction modes and forbidden links increases the minimum trait dimensionality of ecological networks

This paper introduces a method to estimate the minimum trait dimensionality of ecological networks by incorporating trait-based mechanisms, alternative interaction modes, and forbidden links, showing it increases dimensionality estimates compared to existing methods.
