fungal endophytic communities on twigs of fast and slow growing scots pine (pinus sylvestris l.) in northern spain.	most plant species harbour a diverse community of endophytic, but their role is still unknown in most cases, including ecologically and economically important tree species. this study describes the culturable fungal endophytic community of pinus sylvestris l. twigs in northern spain and its relationship with diametric growth of the host. in all, 360 twig samples were collected from 30 scots pines in fifteen stands. isolates were obtained from all twig samples and 43 fungal taxa were identified b ...	2015	26399183
high-resolution dna melt-curve analysis for cost-effective mass screening of pairwise species interactions.	ecological studies of pairwise interactions are constrained by the methods available for rapid species identification of the interacting organisms. the resolution of data required to characterize species interaction networks at multiple spatio-temporal scales can be intensive, and therefore laborious and costly to collect. we explore the utility of high-resolution dna melt-curve analysis (hrm) as a rapid species identification method. an approach was developed to identify organisms at the pairwi ...	2013	23875939
