The dispersal of propagules, such as fungal spores or seeds by actively moving animals, connects and shapes communities. The dispersal of plant pathogens by arthropods might be a crucial mechanism in the spread of several crop diseases. Ground-dwelling arthropods are potential linkers between fungal communities in semi-natural and agricultural habitats by transporting propagules of <i>Fusarium</i> fungi. We compared the <i>Fusarium</i> communities on the body surface of ground-dwelling arthropod ...[more]
