A global atlas of soil viruses reveals unexplored biodiversity and potential biogeochemical impacts

The paper compiles a global soil virus dataset to assess biodiversity and biogeochemical impacts, finding most viral diversity remains unexplored and viruses may influence carbon and nutrient cycling.

Phylogeny, morphology, virulence, ecology, and host range of Ordospora pajunii (Ordosporidae), a microsporidian symbiont of Daphnia spp.

This paper investigates the impact of Ordospora pajunii on Daphnia hosts, finding low virulence and context-dependent effects, and identifies it as a valuable model for studying mutualism-parasitism shifts.

Evolutionary priming and transition to the ectomycorrhizal habit in an iconic lineage of mushroom-forming fungi: is preadaptation a requirement?

This study identifies genomic features of the transition to ectomycorrhizal habit in Russulaceae fungi, finding gene loss, TE expansion, and secreted protein associations with TE nests.
