Niche constraints drive differences between mycorrhizal fungal guilds in future range shifts

Joseph D. Edwards, Johan van den Hoogen, Christine V. Hawkes, Mark Anthony, Camille S. Delavaux, Justin D. Stewart, Kathleen K. Treseder, Xiao Feng, Monica Papeş, Robert Muscarella, Petr Kohout, Petr Baldrián, E. Toby Kiers, Thomas C. Lauber, P. Brandon Matheny, , Stephanie N. Kivlin

The paper maps the distribution of mycorrhizal fungal taxa and forecasts future range shifts, finding that ectomycorrhizal fungi have smaller niches and will experience greater range loss under climate change.

Carbon-phosphorous exchange rate constrains growth of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal networks

Corentin Bisot, Loreto Oyarte Gálvez, Félix Kahane, Marije van Son, Bianca Turcu, Rob Broekman, Kai-Kai Lin, Paco Bontenbal, Max Kerr Winter, Vasilis Kokkoris, S.T. West, Christophe Godin, E. Toby Kiers, Thomas Simon Shimizu

The paper quantifies carbon and phosphorus fluxes in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis using robotic imaging and machine learning, finding that exchange rates constrain fungal growth strategies.

The evolution of signalling and monitoring in plant-fungal networks

Thomas W. Scott, E. Toby Kiers, Stuart Andrew West

The paper examines the evolutionary stability of plant signaling in mycorrhizal networks and proposes two alternative explanations for observed defense upregulation in connected plants.
