Distinct foliar fungal communities in Pinus contorta across native and introduced ranges: evidence for context dependency of pathogen release

Distinct foliar fungal communities in Pinus contorta across native and introduced ranges: evidence for context dependency of pathogen release

Abstract Inter-continental study systems are crucial for testing ecological hypotheses, such as the widely cited Enemy Release Hypothesis (ERH), which seeks to explain the superior performance of plant species when they are introduced to new regions. Pinus contorta (lodgepole pine), native to North...
