DNA metabarcoding reveals host-specific communities of arthropods residing in fungal fruit bodies

Abstract: Biological communities within living organisms are structured by their host's traits. How host traits affect biodiversity and community composition is poorly explored for some associations, such as arthropods within fungal fruit bodies. Using DNA metabarcoding, we characterized the arthropod communities in living fruit bodies of 11 wood-decay fungi from boreal forests and investigated how they were affected by different fungal traits. Arthropod diversity was higher in fruit bodies with a larger surface area-to… Show more

“…While a diverse -and potentially specialized -community lives inside dead and living sporocarps (Jonsell & Nordlander 2004;Komonen et al 2004;Lunde et al 2022), both opportunistic and fungivorous insects visit to feed on the plentiful and nutritious spores. In this regard, it is tempting to draw analogies between insects visiting flowers to feed on nectar and pollen.…”

“…We expect some overlap with oribatid mites from soil, especially stressed soil. A few studies explored the diversity of mites on particular groups of fungi (Gwiazdowicz & Lakomy, 2002;Makarova, 2004;Okabe, 2013;Faraji et al, 2021;Lunde et al, 2022). Some mite species have adapted to the fruiting bodies of bracket fungi (Basidiomyceta, Polyporales).…”
