Fungal Associations includes updates of classic topics, but also introduces less frequently discussed associations and broader reflections on the nature of fungi and their associates.
- The volume begins with a look at more than a billionyears of fungal evolution and associations through the lens of immunology.
- Can fungi involved in obligate symbioses be cultivated apart from the host? Genomes help to answer the question.
- The ultimate intimacy between fungi and certain unrelated organisms has resulted in DNA exchange that can be traced in extant genomes.
- Fungi and bacteria use volatile compounds to lure participants into interactions.
- Some viruses modify the phenotype of their fungal hosts and affect host fitness.
- Details of interactions between classical examples of fungus-plant symbioses (lichens, several types of mycorrhizae, and toxic endophytes) benefit from advanced microscopic and molecular techniques.
- Discussions of fungi associated with insects (entomopathogens, a Drosophila model to study entomopathogens), nematode-trapping fungi and their prey, and a group of termite-associated fungi that produce secondary metabolites with potential uses as pharmaceuticals, complete the volume.
Fungal Associations is a well-illustrated, thought-provoking resource for specialists and generalists, including researchers, lecturers, and students interested in ecology, evolution, microbiology, and mycology. The volume would be an excellent text for a seminar course for advanced undergraduate or graduate students.
In 2015 Hsueh returned to Taiwan, to begin her independent career at the Institute of Molecular Biology in AcademiaSinica where she is currently an Associate Research Fellow. Her laboratory studies the predator-prey interactions between carnivorous fungi and the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Members of the Hsueh lab explores different aspects of the biology of these predator-prey systems and are striving to understand the mechanisms that underlie their interactions and coevolution. They hope to harness the nematocidal potential of the carnivorous fungi, which will facilitate the discovery of a novel treatment or biocontrol method to combat parasitic nematode infections in plants, animals, and humans in the future. Because of her original research, Hsueh has been recognized as an EMBO Global Investigator, EMBO Young Investigator and more recently, a Taiwan Outstanding Women in Science Young Talent Award and is an active participant in the international scientific community.
Meredith Blackwell, born in Abbeville, Louisiana, spent her early years on the banks of the Vermilion Bayou and attended
The next 33 years (1981-2014) were spent in the Department of Biological Sciences, Louisiana State University, where she attained the rank of Boyd Professor. Her research supported by NSF included studies of desert myxomycetes, phylogeny of Laboulbeniomycetes and other insect ectoparasites, and the taxonomic and geographic distribution of insect-associated yeasts. Since 2014 she has lived in Columbia, South Carolina, where she is an affiliate in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of South Carolina. Blackwell is a former president of the Mycological Society of America (MSA) and the International Mycological Association (IMA). She is a fellow of the British Mycological Association, MSA, IMA, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She has received several mycological awards and is proud to share her name with a number of fungal taxa.
