The dispersal of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi is typically characterized by an ecological dichotomy in which aboveground (epigeous) mushrooms disperse via wind and belowground (hypogeous) truffles disperse via animal-mediated movement. To assess whether hypogeous EM fungi may be dispersed by wind more often than generally recognized, we used high-throughput sequencing of paired spore trap and soil samples at eight sites across t...
We describe the identification, synthesis, and field testing of an aggregation-sex pheromone produced by male Acalolepta aesthetica (Olliff 1890) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae), a cerambycid beetle native to Australia that has recently become established in Hawai‘i. Comparing extracts of headspace volatiles from both sexes revealed that males emitted two sex-specific volatiles, (3 E ,5 Z )-octadien-2-ol and (3 E ,5 Z )-o...
Sporecasting Biogeography Across Scales: Continental Patterns and Local Constraints on Macrofungal DispersalNARA Subscribed
Understanding how aerial fungal diversity varies across space, habitat, and disturbance is key to linking local‐scale sporocarp (fruiting body) reproduction with continental‐scale biogeography. In this study, we combined passive spore trap metabarcoding with macrofungal sporocarp records from 31 plots in eight sites across North America to quantify how site, habitat, and fire history shape aerial macrofungal communities. From...

Multiple introductions of invasive alien species on a Mediterranean Island predicted by horizon scanningNARA Subscribed
In 2017 and 2019 two horizon scan workshops were undertaken for the island of Cyprus, which focused on making predictions about the invasive alien species (IAS) most likely to arrive and impact biodiversity, human health and the economy. Herein, we assess the species lists derived from these two horizon scans and consider the accuracy of the predictions so far. In less than ten years, 26 new IAS were found in Cyprus, 10 out of...
