– Evidences of dispersal limitations (Peay et al. 2010) – Contrasted patterns of species richness in relation to temperature/latitudes:
CONTEXT QUESTIONS MAT & MET RESULTS CONCLUSION

ECM Fungi è unimodal relationship
(Tedersoo et al. 2012)
Endophytic Fungi è tropical hotspots
(Arnold et al. 2007)
Transformed species richness
– Evidences of dispersal limitations (Peay et al. 2010) – Contrasted patterns of species richness in relation to temperature/latitudes – Uncertainties on their relationship with plant diversity

– Evidences of dispersal limitations (Peay et al. 2010) – Contrasted patterns of species richness in relation to temperature/latitudes: depends on fungal lineages/functional guilds – Uncertainties on their relationship with plant diversity
– Usually characterized for EM/AM fungi only è Need for global vs. functional vision of fungal diversity patterns – Usually studied in temperate ecosystems è Similar patterns in hyperdiverse habitats? – Poorly studied at fine spatial scales è No understanding of small-scale processes
CONTEXT QUESTIONS MAT & MET RESULTS CONCLUSION

– Spatial scale of variation: hectare, larger, lower? – Similar patterns for different fungal lineages?
– Overall – Depending on fungal lineages/ecological guilds?
