This study quantifies the specificity of Helotiales-plant associations using global occurrence data and phylogenetic analysis, revealing structured ecological relationships.

Few root-associated microbial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in Japanese fumarole fields prefer both a habitat and a host; most specialize on one axis, and Hyaloscyphaceae preferences lack significant phylogenetic signal.

This study examines how ecological factors shape the assembly of mycorrhizal and endophytic fungal communities in forest roots using joint species distribution modeling.
