Title of the talk: Global patterns in plant and fungal endemicity link to mycorrhizal associations
Time: Thursday, 30 September 2021 at 14.15
Place: Tartu, Lai 40-218 (mandatory to present a covid certificate or to wear a mask), or virtual seminar in Zoom
Summary: This seminar provides an overview about the global patterns of diversity and endemicity of plants and fungi. Patterns of endemicity in both groups are related to their mycorrhizal associations. This information is derived from the massive global sequencing efforts and updated databases of plant-microbe interactions.
