The magnitude of fungal diversity: the 1.5 million species estimate revisited * * Paper presented at (2001, background): “In particular, the leaves of two co-occurring understorey tree species in Panama yielded 418 endophyte morphospecies, 59% of which were represented by single isolates (Arnold et al. 2000), only 140 occurring in more than one leaf (Arnold et al.”
Host Specificity of Pathogenic Pythium Species: Implications for Tree Species Diversity (2007, neutral): “…due to differential plant host choice in the same tropical forest has been demonstrated for mycorrhizae (Kiers et al. 2000, Husband et al. 2002), fungal endophytes of leaves (Arnold et al. 2000), polypore fungi (Gilbert et al. 2002, Ferrer & Gilbert 2003), and insect herbivores (Barone 1998).”
A general suite of fungal endophytes dominate the roots of two dominant grasses in a semiarid grassland (2010, background): “In the tropical forests of Panama, Arnold et al. (2000) found that distantly related and co-occurring tree species harbored distinct leaf endophyte communities.”
Inordinate Fondness Multiplied and Redistributed: the Number of Species on Earth and the New Pie of Life (2017, background): “Despite suggestions that fungal endophytes may be hyperdiverse (Arnold et al. 2000), uncertainty surrounding species detection and host specificity makes it difficult to estimate their overall species richness.”
Host Specialization among Wood-Decay Polypore Fungi in a Caribbean Mangrove Forest1 (2002, background): “…is similar to studies on other tropical fungal communities (Tan & Leong 1992; Bills & Polishook 1994; Polishook et al. 1996; Huhndorf & Lodge 1997; Arnold et al. 2000, 2001; Lindblad 2000; Gilbert et al. 2002a) and communities of fungi in general (Crawford et al. 1990, Espinosa-Garcia &…”
Fungal endophytes: diversity and functional roles. (2009, background): “Class 3 endophytes include the hyperdiverse endophytic fungi associated with leaves of tropical trees (Lodge et al., 1996; Fröhlich & Hyde, 1999; Arnold et al., 2000; Gamboa & Bayman, 2001), as well as the highly diverse associates of above-ground tissues of nonvascular plants, seedless vascular…”
Phylogenic diversity of fungal endophytes in Spanish stands of Pinus halepensis (2011, neutral): “These data can be explained assuming the high genetic variability of endophytic fungi (Arnold et al. 2000) in addition to the large number of host species but also because of difficulties in the identification process.”
Communities of fungal endophytes in tropical forest grasses: highly diverse host- and habitat generalists characterized by strong spatial structure (2014, methodology): “A third challenge lies in evaluating occurrence vs. incidence e that is, whether community similarity should be evaluated based on presence/absence data (occurrence), or on the abundance of fungi in each sample (incidence; see Arnold et al., 2000, 2001; U’Ren et al., 2010).”
Polypore fungal diversity and host density in a moist tropical forest (2002, background): “On Barro Colorado Island, polypore fungi collectively infected tree species in a density-dependent manner across host species, resulting in common hosts having a proportionally greater number of individuals infected by mostly rare fungal species.”
The endophytic continuum. (2005, background): “Arnold et al. (2003) found that inoculation of endophyte-free leaves of Theobroma cacao with endophytes resulted in induced resistance of the leaves to Phytophthora sp.”
Isolation and identification of two flavonoid-producing endophytic fungi from Ginkgo biloba L. (2010, background): “Nowadays, the techniques of molecular biology are widely used for the identification of microorganisms (Arnold et al. 2000; Okane et al. 2001; Baayen et al. 2002), but there are some problems for sequencing the specific DNA fragments or genes.”
