• Beetles provide directed dispersal of viable spores of a keystone wood decay fungus 

      Lunde, Lisa Fagerli; Boddy, Lynne; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Jacobsen, Rannveig Margrete; Kauserud, Håvard; Birkemoe, Tone (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Wood decay fungi are considered to be dispersed by wind, but dispersal by animals may also be important, and more so in managed forests where dead wood is scarce. We investigated whether beetles could disperse spores of ...
    • European mushroom assemblages are darker in cold climates 

      Franz-Sebastian, Krah; Büntgen, Ulf; Schaefer, Hanno; Müller, Jörg; Andrew, Carrie; Boddy, Lynne; Diez, Jeffrey; Egli, Simon; Freckleton, Robert; Gange, Alan C.; Halvorsen, Rune; Heegaard, Einar; Heideroth, Antje; Heibl, Christoph; Heilmann-Clausen, Jacob; Høiland, Klaus; Kar, Ritwika; Kauserud, Håvard; Kirk, Paul M.; Kuyper, Thomas W.; Krisai-Greilhuber, Irmgard; Nordén, Jenni; Papastefanou, Phillip; Senn-Irlet, Beatrice; Bässler, Claus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
    • European mushroom assemblages are phylogenetically structured by temperature 

      Bässler, Claus; Heilmann-Clausen, Jacob; Andrew, Carrie; Boddy, Lynne; Büntgen, Ulf; Diez, Jeffrey; Heegaard, Einar; Egli, Simon; Gange, Alan C.; Halvorsen, Rune; Kauserud, Håvard; Kirk, Paul M.; Krisai-Greilhuber, Irmgard; Kuyper, Thomas W.; Nordén, Jenni; Senn-Irlet, Beatrice; Krah, Franz-Sebastian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Recent global warming affects species compositions at an unprecedented rate. To predict climate-induced changes in species assemblages, a better understanding of the link between species occurrence and climate is needed. ...
    • Exclusion of invertebrates influences saprotrophic fungal community and wood decay rate in an experimental field study 

      Jacobsen, Rannveig Margrete; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Kauserud, Håvard; Mundra, Sunil; Birkemoe, Tone (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      1. Decomposer communities perform an essential ecosystem function by recycling nutrients. However, the effect of higher trophic levels on microbial decomposer communities and rate of decomposition is poorly understood. We ...
    • FungalTraits: a user‑friendly traits database of fungi and fungus‑like stramenopiles 

      Põlme, Sergei; Abarenkov, Kessy; Nilsson, R. Henrik; Lindahl, Björn D.; Clemmensen, Karina E.; Kauserud, Håvard; Nguyen, Nhu; Kjøller, Rasmus; Bates, Scott T; Baldrian, Petr; Frøslev, Tobias Guldberg; Adojaan, Kristjan; Vizzini, Alfredo; Suija, Ave; Pfister, Donald H.; Baral, Hans‑Otto; Järv, Helle; Madrid, Hugo; Nordén, Jenni; Liu, Jian‑Kui; Pawlowska, Julia; Põldmaa, Kadri; Pärtel, Kadri; Runnel, Kadri; Hansen, Karen; Larsson, Karl‑Henrik; Hyde, Kevin David; Sandoval‑Denis, Marcelo; Smith, Matthew E.; Toome‑Heller, Merje; Wijayawardene, Nalin N.; Menolli Jr., Nelson; Reynolds, Nicole K.; Drenkhan, Rein; Maharachchikumbu, Sajeewa S.

K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The cryptic lifestyle of most fungi necessitates molecular identification of the guild in environmental studies. Over the past decades, rapid development and affordability of molecular tools have tremendously improved ...
    • Revealing hidden insect–fungus interactions; moderately specialized, modular and anti-nested detritivore networks 

      Jacobsen, Rannveig Margrete; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Kauserud, Håvard; Birkemoe, Tone (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Ecological networks are composed of interacting communities that influence ecosystem structure and function. Fungi are the driving force for ecosystem processes such as decomposition and carbon sequestration in terrestrial ...
