Whole-Genome Resequencing Reveals Genetic Variation and Selection Signals in <i>Fusarium acuminatum</i> Causing <i>Astragalus</i> Root Rot

Bingyan Xia, Jieyin Chen, Bin Ma, Xiaofeng Dai et al. • Journal of Fungi (2026)

Astragalus root rot is a soil-borne disease primarily caused by Fusarium spp., which severely hampers the sustainable development of the Astragalus industry. F. acuminatum is a predominant pathogen causing this disease. To elucidate the gen...

Unravelling the interplay of ecological processes structuring the bacterial rare biosphere

Xiu Jia, Francisco Dini-Andreote, Joana Falcão Salles • ISME Communications (2022)

Abstract Most ecological communities harbor many rare species (i.e., the rare biosphere), however, relatively little is known about how distinct ecological processes structure their existence. Here, we used spatiotemporal data on soil bacte...

Landscape fragmentation and pollinator movement within agricultural environments: a modelling framework for exploring foraging and movement ecology

Sean A. Rands • PeerJ (2014)

Pollinator decline has been linked to landscape change, through both habitat fragmentation and the loss of habitat suitable for the pollinators to live within. One method for exploring why landscape change should affect pollinator populatio...
