• Traits related to differences in function among three arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2011, background): “Other studies established that functional diversity may indeed be phylogenetically structured ( Hart and Reader 2002a, b) and this could be one of the reasons for the plants to associate with different AMF species at the same time (Maherali and Klironomos 2007).”
• Networks of power and influence: the role of mycorrhizal mycelium in controlling plant communities and agroecosystem functioning (2004, background): “Other approaches, such as relating root-length colonization by AM to ergosterol concentrations (e.g., Hart and Reader 2002a, 2002b), have been called into question since ergosterol appears to be absent from all AM fungi tested to date both in axenic culture and in spores and hyphae from soil…”
• Plant defence theory re‐examined: nonlinear expectations based on the costs and benefits of resource mutualisms (2011, methodology): “We use the proportion of root length colonized as a proxy for the abundance of a single fungal species with which a plant associates (Hart & Reader 2002a) because it is easily quantified and reported in most studies.”
• Presence and identity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi influence competitive interactions between plant species (2007, background): “Recent work has shown that different AMF isolates that belong to the same AMF species can induce highly variable plant growth responses (Hart & Reader 2002; Munkvold et al. 2004; Koch et al. 2006).”
• Variation in mycorrhizal performance in the epiphytic orchid Tolumnia variegata in vitro: the potential for natural selection (2004, background): “However, the necessary criteria for natural selection – variation, heritability, and differences in fitness (Endler, 1986) – have rarely been demonstrated, and then only on the plant side (Johnson et al., 1997, Van der Heijden et al., 1998, Tagu et al., 2001, Hart and Reader, 2002, Sanders, 2002).”
• Phosphorus Acquisition Strategies within Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Community of a Single Field Site (2005, background): “We recognize that different AMF in this study could also have followed different trajectories of root colonization (Hart and Reader, 2002a; J. Jansa, unpublished observation) and that this might have contributed to the apparent functional differences reported here.”
• Effects of tillage systems on soil characteristics, glomalin and mycorrhizal propagules in a Chilean Ultisol (2006, background): “Families of AM fungi differ in terms of mycelial size (Hart and Reader, 2002) and such differences may contribute to variation in host responsiveness.”
