DOI: 10.1002/aps3.11339
Abstract: Premise In the ferns, cell size has been explored with spores, which are largely uniform within species, produced in abundance, and durable. However, spore size and shape have been variously defined, and the relationship of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2020.109514
Abstract: Contamination by spores is often the cause of fungal food spoilage. Some distinct strains of the food spoilage fungus Paecilomyces variotii are able to produce airborne conidia that are more heat-resistant than similar species. These… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpara.2021.05.008
Abstract: Myxozoa represent a diverse group of microscopic cnidarian endoparasites alternating between invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. Of the approximately 2,600 species described predominantly from teleost fish, only 1.8% have been reported from cartilaginous fishes (Elasmobranchii). As… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182021000949
Abstract: Abstract Abstract Genetic variation in parasites has important consequences for host–parasite interactions. Prior studies of the ecologically important parasite Metschnikowia bicuspidata have suggested low genetic variation in the species. Here, we collected M. bicuspidata from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13532
Abstract: Separation of regeneration niches may promote coexistence among closely related plant species, but there is little evidence that regeneration traits affect species ranges at broad geographical scales. We address patterns of co‐occurrence within the genus… read more here.
