Urban vegetation varies with socio-economic gradients, as lower-income neighborhoods often host sparser and less diverse green spaces. This disparity may affect respiratory health by influencing exposure to bioaerosols. Understanding the characteristics of this aerobiome could help anticipate ris ...

Endophytes asymptomatically infect virtually all plant species, yet little is known about endophyte community assembly and diversity within the woody tissues of forest trees. We utilised phylogenetic null models of alpha (ses.MNTDab and ses.MPDab) and beta diversity (ses.ßMNTDab and ses.ßMPDab) to infer the role of deterministic and stochastic ecological ...

Climate change is prompting plants to migrate and establish novel interactions in new habitats. Because of the pivotal roles microbes have on plant health and function, it is important to understand the ecological consequences of these shifts in host-microbe interactions with range expansion. Here we examine how the diversity of plant associated microbes ...
