Doctoral thesis

Molecular ecology and conservation of Mediterranean orchids and their mycorrhizal fungi.

The distribution and abundance of orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) can influence the the establishment and resulting spatial pattern, as well as the population dynamics, of their host plants. Yet, our understanding of these mycorrhizal associations is currently limited by our restricted knowledge of the ecology and spatial distribution of OMF,...
