The first spectrum of spore form and function reveals constrained evolution in mycorrhizal symbiosis

Carlos A. Aguilar‐Trigueros, Smriti Pehim Limbu, Liam F. Nokes…·V. Bala Chaudhary

This study constructs the first quantitative morphospace of AM fungal spores, revealing that spore morphology evolves mainly through scaling rather than redesign.
