Fungal secondary metabolite dynamics in fungus-grazer interactions: novel insights and unanswered questions
In response to fungivore grazing fungi are assumed to have evolved secondary metabolite-based defense mechanisms that harm and repel grazers, and hence provide a benefit to the metabolite producer. However, since research into the ecological meaning of highly diverse fungal secondary metabolites is...
