DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8800
Abstract: Abstract Fierce competition exists between most stemâtwining lianas and the trunks of host trees. However, Merremia boisiana, a vigorous invasive twining liana, never strangles the host tree. Here, we investigated how M. boisiana stems adjust… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND The Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), Anoplophora glabripennis, is a serious wood borer of hardwood trees. Populus deltoides 'Shalinyang' (PdS) is attractive to ALB adults for oviposition but highly resistant to their offspring. Investigation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00572-017-0787-7
Abstract: Most studies on the host preference of orchids have focused on the association between orchids and host characteristics, but little is known about the differences of mycorrhizal and endophytic fungal communities in epiphytic orchids growing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-02004-7
Abstract: Intensive forest management has drastically reduced the amount and diversity of dead wood resulting in population decline of saproxylic species. Forestry practices can also disrupt spatiotemporal continuity of dead wood habitats. We studied the effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpx018
Abstract: Mistletoes absorb water from the vascular system of their hosts and thus the water use of mistletoes can be influenced by the water status of their hosts besides abiotic environmental conditions; however, there is a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.15433
Abstract: Tree root-associated microbiomes are shaped by geographic, soil physico-chemical, and host tree parameters. However, their respective impacts on microbiome variations in soils across larger spatial scales remain weakly studied. We out-planted saplings of oak clone… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants12030571
Abstract: Bryophytes are prolific producers of unique, specialized metabolites that are not found in other plants. As many of these unique natural products are potentially interesting, for example, pharmacological use, variations in the production regarding ecological… read more here.
