• Coming up short: Identifying substrate and geographic biases in fungal sequence databases 

      Khomich, Maryia; Cox, Filipa; Andrew, Carrie Joy; Andersen, Tom; Kauserud, Håvard; Davey, Marie Louise (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-22)
      Insufficient reference database coverage is a widely recognized limitation of molecular ecology ap-proaches which are reliant on database matches for assignment of function or identity. Here, we use datafrom 65 amplicon ...
    • European mushroom assemblages are darker in cold climates 

      Krah, Franz-Sebastian; 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, 2019-10-10)
      Thermal melanism theory states that dark-colored ectotherm organisms are at an advantage at low temperature due to increased warming. This theory is generally supported for ectotherm animals, however, the function of colors ...
    • Explaining European fungal fruiting phenology with climate variability 

      Andrew, Carrie Joy; Heegaard, Einar; Høiland, Klaus; Senn-Irlet, Beatrice; Kuyper, Thomas W.; Krisai-Greilhuber, Irmgard; Kirk, Paul M.; Heilmann-Clausen, Jacob; Gange, Alan C.; Egli, Simon; Bässler, Claus; Büntgen, Ulf; Boddy, Lynne; Kauserud, Håvard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-14)
      Here we assess the impact of geographically dependent (latitude, longitude, and alti-tude) changes in bioclimatic (temperature, precipitation, and primary productivity) variability on fun-gal fruiting phenology across ...
    • Fungal diversity and seasonal succession in ash leaves infected by the invasive ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus 

      Cross, Hugh; Sønstebø, Jørn Henrik; Nagy, Nina Elisabeth; Timmermann, Volkmar; Solheim, Halvor; Børja, Isabella; Kauserud, Håvard; Carlsen, Tor; Rzepka, Barbara; Wasak, Katarzyna; Vivian-Smith, Adam; Hietala, Ari Mikko (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-12)
      High biodiversity is regarded as a barrier against biological invasions. We hypothesized that the invasion success of the pathogenic ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus threatening common ash in Europe relates to differences ...
    • Open-source data reveal how collections-based fungal diversity is sensitive to global change 

      Andrew, Carrie Joy; Büntgen, Ulf; Egli, Simon; Senn-Irlet, Beatrice; Grytnes, John-Arvid; Heilmann-Clausen, Jacob; Boddy, Lynne; Bässler, Claus; Gange, Alan C.; Heegaard, Einar; Høiland, Klaus; Kirk, Paul M.; Krisai-Greilhüber, Irmgard; Kuyper, Thomas W.; Kauserud, Håvard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Premise of the Study Fungal diversity (richness) trends at large scales are in urgent need of investigation, especially through novel situations that combine long‐term observational with environmental and remotely sensed ...
    • Shift in tree species changes the belowground biota of boreal forests 

      Mundra, Sunil; Kauserud, Håvard; Økland, Tonje; Nordbakken, Jørn-Frode; Ransedokken, Yngvild Eidissen; Kjønaas, O. Janne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-20)
      The replacement of native birch with Norway spruce has been initiated in Norway to increase long-term carbon storage in forests. However, there is limited knowledge on the impacts that aboveground changes will have on the ...
    • Soil depth matters: shift in composition and inter-kingdom co-occurrence patterns of microorganisms in forest soils 

      Mundra, Sunil; Kjønaas, O. Janne; Morgado, Luis; Krabberød, Anders Kristian; Ransedokken, Yngvild; Kauserud, Håvard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02-06)
      Soil depth represents a strong physiochemical gradient that greatly affects soil-dwelling microorganisms. Fungal communities are typically structured by soil depth, but how other microorganisms are structured is less known. ...
    • Substrate affinities of wood decay fungi are foremost structured by wood properties not climate 

      Rustøen, Fredrik; Høiland, Klaus; Heegaard, Einar; Boddy, Lynne; Gange, Alan C.; Kauserud, Håvard; Andrew, Carrie Joy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-02-17)
      Wood decomposing fungi differ in their substrate affinities, but to what extent factors like wood properties influence host specialization, compared to climate, is largely unknown. In this study, we analysed British field ...
