Summary

I am a mycologist with a great interest in Xylariaceae systematics and taxonomy, as well as a fungal ecologist with an interest in endophyte ecology outside of the standard cool-season grass endophytes relationships: why are tropical endophytes so diverse, and what are they doing? How do multiple symbionts interact in a single host, and what effect do those interactions have on fitness of all partners? How is endophytism related to dispersal?
