TL;DR: Diversity of most fungal groups peaked in tropical ecosystems, but ectomycorrhizal fungi and several fungal classes were most diverse in temperate or boreal ecosystems, and manyfungal groups exhibited distinct preferences for specific edaphic conditions (such as pH, calcium, or phosphorus).
Journal ArticleDOI
Current and projected global distribution of Phytophthora cinnamomi, one of the world's worst plant pathogens.
Treena I. Burgess,John K. Scott,John K. Scott,Keith L. McDougall,M.J.C. Stukely,C. E. Crane,W. Dunstan,Frances Brigg,Vera Andjic,D. White,Tim Rudman,Frans Arentz,Noboru Ota,Giles E. St. J. Hardy +13 more
TL;DR: For the first time, a comprehensive global map of the current P. cinnamomi distribution is provided, an improved climex model of the distribution, and a projection to 2080 of the Distribution with predicted climate change are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple new Phytophthora species from ITS Clade 6 associated with natural ecosystems in Australia: evolutionary and ecological implications
TL;DR: Both new species are common in waterways and cause scattered mortality within native vegetation and appear well adapted for survival in an aquatic environment and inundated soils, filling the niche occupied by P. gonapodyides and P. taxon salixsoil in the northern hemisphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
The diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with introduced Pinus spp. in the Southern Hemisphere, with particular reference to Western Australia
TL;DR: A survey of ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with Pinus spp. was conducted throughout south-western Australia as discussed by the authors, with only nine species of fungi identified from sporocarps and a further two taxa identified from mycorrhiza.
Journal ArticleDOI
Containment and spot eradication of a highly destructive, invasive plant pathogen (Phytophthora cinnamomi) in natural ecosystems.
W. Dunstan,T. Rudman,B.L. Shearer,N.A. Moore,Trudy Paap,Mike Calver,Bernard Dell,Giles E. St. J. Hardy +7 more
TL;DR: The invasive plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi (Stramenopila, Oomycota) has been introduced into 15 of the 25 global biodiversity hotspots, threatening susceptible rare flora and degrading plant communities with severe consequences for fauna.
