• Fungal endophytes: unique plant inhabitants with great promises (2011, methodology): “A further role of endophytes in the ecosystem may be to initiate the biological degradation of a dead or dying host plant which starts the crucial processes of nutrient recycling (Zhang et al. 2006; Parfitt et al. 2010; Vega et al. 2010; Boberg et al. 2011; Sun et al. 2011) as fungi are among the pr”

• Independent effects of host and environment on the diversity of wood‐inhabiting fungi (2018, background): “As outlined above, it has been shown that numerous wood- decay fungi are latently present as endophytes in sapwood of a wide range of still- living angiosperm trees (Parfitt et al., 2010).”
