Mycorrhizal fungi of native and introduced trees in the Seychelles Islands (2010, background): “The Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) of the nuclear ribosomal RNA genes is most commonly used for identification of EcM fungi from roots and soil (Peay et al., 2008).”
An open source software package for automated extraction of ITS1 and ITS2 from fungal ITS sequences for use in high-throughput community assays and molecular ecology (2010, background): “…aboveground fruit bodies and the diversity of the fungal community below ground (or in the substrate) has precluded a detailed understanding of the species composition of fungal communities, although the access to DNA sequence data is starting to change this (Peay et al. 2008; Hibbett et al. 2009).”
Role of Fungi in the Biomineralization of Calcite (2016, background): “Additionally, besides exhibiting very diverse life forms, fungi spread across three ecological categories: saprophytes, mycorrhizae and pathogens/parasites, which have been targeted individually by researchers [133,134].”
Improved software detection and extraction of ITS1 and ITS2 from ribosomal ITS sequences of fungi and other eukaryotes for analysis of environmental sequencing data (2013, background): “Sequence analyses are now routine in systematics, taxonomy, and ecology of fungi (Peay, Kennedy & Bruns 2008; Yang 2011; Ebersberger et al. 2012), with the nuclear ribosomal operon being the most frequently targeted genetic region for such endeavours (Begerow et al. 2010).”
No biogeographical pattern for a root-associated fungal species complex (2011, background): “Models to describe and/or predict community structures of microorganisms have received much less attention, probably due to the difficulty of delineating species and individuals in microorganisms (Taylor et al., 2006; Grünig et al., 2007; Peay et al., 2008) as well as the difficulties associated wit”
Microbial control over carbon cycling in soil (2012, background): “The second is the growing interest in integrating evolutionary and ecological theory into microbial ecology to better understand microbial systems (Jiang,2007; Prosser et al.,2007; Peay et al.,2008; Fierer et al., 2009; Locey, 2010).”
Invasive belowground mutualists of woody plants (2014, background): “Nonetheless, the development of molecular tools has given rise to a greater appreciation that soil biotic communities are diverse and spatially structured, and that the presence or absence of belowground organisms can directly influence plant communities (Peay et al. 2008).”
Progress in molecular and morphological taxon discovery in Fungi and options for formal classification of environmental sequences (2011, unknown): “Finally, sequences can be used to create fluorescent probes for visualization of organisms, and they can be extended using chromosome walking approaches (Porter et al., 2008).”
Species associations during the succession of wood-inhabiting fungal communities (2014, background): “Today bacteria and fungi are also becoming incorporated into ecological models of succession (Peay et al., 2008).”
Independent roles of ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic communities in soil organic matter decomposition (2013, background): “Soils and ECM root tips were preserved within 48 h of field sampling.”
