Fungal associates of an invasive pine-infesting bark beetle, Dendroctonus valens, including seven new Ophiostomatalean fungi.
TL;DR: Seven of the undescribed taxa collected during surveys of the red turpentine beetle’s fungal associates were further characterised based on their morphological characteristics and multi-gene phylogenies, enhancing the ability to accurately assess and predict the risks of invasions by these and related fungi.
