Discovery of dark matter fungi in aquatic ecosystems demands a reappraisal of the phylogeny and ecology of zoosporic fungi (2016, positive): “An analysis of the data for a global soil fungal metagenomic survey by Tedersoo et al. (2014) shows very little differentiation of Rozellomycota by biome as opposed to Chytridiomycota (Fig.”
Increasing aridity reduces soil microbial diversity and abundance in global drylands (2015, background): “3 B and D), consistent with a global study showing a negative correlation between soil pH and fungal richness after accounting for the effects of other environmental drivers (12).”
Embracing the unknown: disentangling the complexities of the soil microbiome (2017, background): “For example, when we analyse a collection of soils that represent a broad range of pH values (from pH 4 to pH >8), we often find that soil pH is the best predictor of bacterial and archaeal community composition 24,25 .”
Global biogeography of marine fungi is shaped by the environment (2016, background): “According to a global study of fungal communities in soil (Tedersoo et al., 2014), potential evapotranspiration and soil pH combined described 3.9% of compositional variance.”
FUNGuild: An open annotation tool for parsing fungal community datasets by ecological guild (2016, background): “We have organized entries into three broad groupings refered to as trophic modes (sensu Tedersoo et al., 2014): (1) pathotroph ¼ receiving nutrients by harming host cells (including phagotrophs); (2) symbiotroph ¼ receiving nutrients by exchanging resources with host cells; and (3) saprotroph ¼…”
