Geographic conservation patterns of three dominant ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungal genera (Sebacina, Russula and Inocybe) associated with global Pinaceae hosts.

#PhylogeneticConservatism sustains stable associations across #Pinaceae genera (#Ectomycorrhiza), while environmental filtering drives species-specific community differentiation at local scales on the #Qinghai_TibetanPlateau.

A phylogenetic tree of the local pteridophyte species found in Xishuangbanna, China.

Kittisack Phoutthavong et al. revealed that #PhylogeneticConservatism shapes trait differences in #LimestoneForests (LFs) and #Non-limestoneForests (NLFs), ultimately forming #Pteridophyte species with different #LeafCharacteristics.
