  • Patterns of fungal diversity: recent advances

– 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

  • Current limitations:

– 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

  • What is the fine-scale variation of fungal communities in

a hyperdiverse ecosystem?

– Spatial scale of variation: hectare, larger, lower? – Similar patterns for different fungal lineages?

  • Is there a relationship between fungal and plant

diversity?

– Overall – Depending on fungal lineages/ecological guilds?

  • High + non uniform patterns of diversity (α and β)
  • No clear relationships with global plant diversity

è spatial scale è plant diversity does not drive fungal diversity locally è different responses of different fungal groups (Agaricomycetes)

  • Metabarcoding approach

➔ access deep inventories on multiple taxa ➔ test ecological hypotheses on fungal communities Limits

  • taxonomic assignation of OTUs, for both plants and fungi (incomplete

databases for tropical species)

  • Dealing with rare OTUs: which threshold apply when analysing at the

community level ?

  • Which factors and what kind of interactions ? Need for environmental data
