What determines transfer of carbon from plants to mycorrhizal fungi? Biological Market Models are common evolutionary frameworks to understand the maintenance of mutualism in mycorrhizas. ‘Surplus C’ hypotheses provide an alternative framework where stoichiometry and ...

Positive citation bias and overinterpreted results lead to misinformation on common mycorrhizal networks in forests - Nature Ecology & Evolution In this Perspective, Karst et al. discuss how both the popular media and scientific literature have inflated the extent of evidence for various roles of mycorrhizal fungal networks in forests.

See this review for an analysis of how these biases are propagated

Me: did you know that canned pumpkin pie filling is actually squash, of the species Curcubita moschata? Jack'OLantern pumpkins are Curcubita pepo. But the definition of pumpkin is flexible.
My Daughter: we were just discussing how long it would take for you to mention that today.
