Simonis M, Hartzler L, Turner G, Scafini M, Johnson J, Rua M
Ecol Evol . 2024 Jun; 14(6):e11523. PMID: 38932974
Emerging infectious diseases threaten wildlife globally. While the effects of infectious diseases on hosts with severe infections and high mortality rates often receive considerable attention, effects on hosts that persist...

Rua M, Hoeksema J
Sci Rep . 2024 May; 14(1):12151. PMID: 38802437
Coevolution describes evolutionary change in which two or more interacting species reciprocally drive each other's evolution, potentially resulting in trait diversification and ecological speciation. Much progress has been made in...

Simonis M, Hartzler L, Campbell J, Carter T, Cooper L, Cross K, et al.
Data Brief . 2023 Aug; 49:109353. PMID: 37600136
Emerging infectious diseases threaten wildlife populations. Without well monitored wildlife systems, it is challenging to determine accurate population and ecosystem losses following disease emergence. North American temperate bats present a...

Flanigan K, Czuba M, Riesgo V, Rua M, Stevenson L, Willing J
Front Behav Neurosci . 2023 May; 17:987239. PMID: 37153937
While corn is considered to be a healthy food option, common agricultural practices, such as the application of soil amendments, might be introducing contaminants of concern (COC) into corn plants....

Zanne A, Flores-Moreno H, Powell J, Cornwell W, Dalling J, Austin A, et al.
Science . 2022 Sep; 377(6613):1440-1444. PMID: 36137034
Deadwood is a large global carbon store with its store size partially determined by biotic decay. Microbial wood decay rates are known to respond to changing temperature and precipitation. Termites...

Hamelin F, Allen L, Bokil V, Gross L, Hilker F, Jeger M, et al.
PLoS Biol . 2019 Dec; 17(12):e3000551. PMID: 31794547
If pathogen species, strains, or clones do not interact, intuition suggests the proportion of coinfected hosts should be the product of the individual prevalences. Independence consequently underpins the wide range...

Hoeksema J, Bever J, Chakraborty S, Chaudhary V, Gardes M, Gehring C, et al.
Commun Biol . 2018 Oct; 1:142. PMID: 30273421

Hoeksema J, Bever J, Chakraborty S, Chaudhary V, Gardes M, Gehring C, et al.
Commun Biol . 2018 Oct; 1:116. PMID: 30271996
Most plants engage in symbioses with mycorrhizal fungi in soils and net consequences for plants vary widely from mutualism to parasitism. However, we lack a synthetic understanding of the evolutionary...

Rua M, Moore B, Hergott N, Van L, Jackson C, Hoeksema J
J Fungi (Basel) . 2018 Jan; 1(2):185-210. PMID: 29376908
Extracellular enzymes degrade macromolecules into soluble substrates and are important for nutrient cycling in soils, where microorganisms, such as ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, produce these enzymes to obtain nutrients. Ecotones between...

Rua M, Lamit L, Gehring C, Antunes P, Hoeksema J, Zabinski C, et al.
Mycorrhiza . 2017 Nov; 28(2):187-195. PMID: 29181636
Local adaptation, the differential success of genotypes in their native versus foreign environments, can influence ecological and evolutionary processes, yet its importance is difficult to estimate because it has not...
