Changes in Community Structure and Functional Characteristics of Soil Bacteria and Fungi along Karst Vegetation Succession by Yuanyong Li, Qian Tang, Congjun Yuan, Sixi Zhu, Yuyan Ye, Peng Wu, Yingchun Cui, Fangjun Ding

“…The dominant fungal functional groups were saprotroph, pathotroph, and pathotroph–saprotroph. The soil bacterial communities were observably affected by soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, total potassium, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and leucine aminopeptidase, among which soil organic carbon, ammonia nitrogen, and leucine aminopeptidase mainly influenced the bacterial community in the topsoil, while nitrate nitrogen chiefly influenced the bacterial community in the subsoil. …”

Interplay between parasitism and host ontogenic resistance in the epidemiology of the soil-borne plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani. by Thomas E Simon, Ronan Le Cointe, Patrick Delarue, Stéphanie Morlière, Françoise Montfort, Maxime R Hervé, Sylvain Poggi

“…Spread of soil-borne fungal plant pathogens is mainly driven by the amount of resources the pathogen is able to capture and exploit should it behave either as a saprotroph or a parasite. Despite their importance in understanding the fungal spread in agricultural ecosystems, experimental data related to exploitation of infected host plants by the pathogen remain scarce. …”

The evolution of entomopathogeny in nematodes by V. J. Trejo‐Meléndez, J. Ibarra‐Rendón, J. Contreras‐Garduño

“…The evolution of parasitism in nematodes suggests that ecological and evolutionary properties shared by families in the order Rhabditida favor the convergent evolution of the entomopathogenic trait in lineages with diverse lifestyles, such as saprotrophs, phoretic, and necromenic nematodes. For this reason, this paper proposes expanding the term “entomopathogenic nematode” considering the diverse modes of this attribute within Rhabditida. …”
