However, pine forests in Lithuania, Montenegro, and Ukraine have been significantly damaged by pine bark beetles (Tomicus sp.), which are closely associated with ophiostomatoid and other pathogenic fungi. This study aimed to identify the diversity of ophiostomatoid and other fungi associated with Tomicus sp. in these three countries. Fungi were isolated from beetles and identified. High-throughput sequencing of ITS2 rDNA yielded 285,828 reads, of which 91,141 high-quality reads were retained, representing 561 fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs). The most important groups of fungi included ophiostomatoids, yeasts, and plant pathogens. While the fungal communities associated with Tomicus spp. were influenced more by environmental factors than by beetle species, the presence of known pathogens such as Ophiostoma spp. indicates that Tomicus spp. could play a significant role in dispersing harmful fungi. Although the virulence of these fungi may vary, their association with potentially pathogenic species suggests that Tomicus spp. may contribute to forest health decline, especially if environmental conditions or host susceptibility change.", "doi": "10.3390/insects16030277", "pmid": "40266754", "labels": {"National Genomics Infrastructure": "Service", "NGI Uppsala (Uppsala Genome Center)": "Service", "NGI Long read": "Service"}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC11943276"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "insects16030277"}], "notes": [], "created": "2025-08-19T13:55:28.251Z", "modified": "2025-08-19T13:55:28.582Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "3bfaf7db89b948169a2534d07b5a3896", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/3bfaf7db89b948169a2534d07b5a3896.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/3bfaf7db89b948169a2534d07b5a3896"}}, "title": "The Release and Spread of Basidiospores of Red-Listed Wood-Decay Fungus Fistulina hepatica in Oak Stands", "authors": [{"family": "Mar\u010diulynas", "given": "Adas", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0003-3039-7945", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/fee3bbac17cf4d7197e2ebaaa185ff4f.json"}}, {"family": "Menkis", "given": "Audrius", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0002-6545-8907", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/7d4d16d281344b9f9cf2c3c27fb40f06.json"}}], "type": "journal-article", "published": "2023-10-25", "journal": {"title": "Diversity", "issn": "1424-2818", "volume": "15", "issue": "11", "pages": "1110", "issn-l": "1424-2818"}, "abstract": null, "doi": "10.3390/d15111110", "pmid": null, "labels": {"NGI Uppsala (Uppsala Genome Center)": "Service", "National Genomics Infrastructure": "Service", "NGI Long read": "Service"}, "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2023-11-02T13:48:33.118Z", "modified": "2025-02-11T14:15:33.113Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "b8654fb5bf6b4a8ea44e2217a97f339d", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/b8654fb5bf6b4a8ea44e2217a97f339d.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/b8654fb5bf6b4a8ea44e2217a97f339d"}}, "title": "Fungi Inhabiting Stem Wounds of Quercus robur following Bark Stripping by Deer Animals", "authors": [{"family": "Mar\u010diulynas", "given": "Adas", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0003-3039-7945", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/fee3bbac17cf4d7197e2ebaaa185ff4f.json"}}, {"family": "Sirgedait\u0117-\u0160\u0117\u017eien\u0117", "given": "Vaida", "initials": "V", "orcid": "0000-0002-1607-0551", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/0ae9d6c2f4e849deb02a11b4d2f524d6.json"}}, {"family": "Menkis", "given": "Audrius", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0002-6545-8907", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/7d4d16d281344b9f9cf2c3c27fb40f06.json"}}], "type": "journal-article", "published": "2023-10-17", "journal": {"title": "Forests", "issn": "1999-4907", "volume": "14", "issue": "10", "pages": "2077", "issn-l": "1999-4907"}, "abstract": null, "doi": "10.3390/f14102077", "pmid": null, "labels": {"NGI Uppsala (Uppsala Genome Center)": "Service", "National Genomics Infrastructure": "Service", "NGI Long read": "Service"}, "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2023-11-02T13:50:46.635Z", "modified": "2025-02-11T14:16:37.504Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "9fd0a81e847947fb87590636b973be67", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/9fd0a81e847947fb87590636b973be67.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/9fd0a81e847947fb87590636b973be67"}}, "title": "Biogeography of Fungal Communities Associated with Pinus sylvestris L. and Picea abies (L.)

For each tree species, living needles, shoots, roots, and the rhizosphere soil were sampled and subjected to high-throughput sequencing. Results showed that the latitude and the host tree species had a limited effect on the diversity and composition of fungal communities, which were largely explained by the environmental variables of each site and the substrate they colonize. The mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation had a strong effect on root fungal communities, isothermality on needle fungal communities, mean temperature of the warmest quarter and precipitation of the driest month on shoot fungal communities, and precipitation seasonality on soil fungal communities. Fungal communities of both tree species are predicted to shift to habitats with a lower annual temperature amplitude and with increasing precipitation during the driest month, but the suitability of these habitats as compared to the present conditions is predicted to decrease in the future.", "doi": "10.3390/jof9080829", "pmid": "37623600", "labels": {"NGI Uppsala (Uppsala Genome Center)": "Service", "National Genomics Infrastructure": "Service", "NGI Long read": "Service"}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC10455207"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "jof9080829"}], "notes": [], "created": "2023-11-02T13:49:41.377Z", "modified": "2023-11-02T13:49:41.444Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "47437a955e5c475085f0f656af54b265", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/47437a955e5c475085f0f656af54b265.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/47437a955e5c475085f0f656af54b265"}}, "title": "Seasonal and Site-Specific Patterns of Airborne Fungal Diversity Revealed Using Passive Spore Traps and High-Throughput DNA Sequencing", "authors": [{"family": "Mar\u010diulynas", "given": "Adas", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0003-3039-7945", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/fee3bbac17cf4d7197e2ebaaa185ff4f.json"}}, {"family": "Lynikien\u0117", "given": "J\u016brat\u0117", "initials": "J"}, {"family": "Mar\u010diulynien\u0117", "given": "Diana", "initials": "D"}, {"family": "Gedminas", "given": "Art\u016bras", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Menkis", "given": "Audrius", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0002-6545-8907", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/7d4d16d281344b9f9cf2c3c27fb40f06.json"}}], "type": "journal-article", "published": "2023-04-09", "journal": {"title": "Diversity", "issn": "1424-2818", "volume": "15", "issue": "4", "pages": "539", "issn-l": "1424-2818"}, "abstract": null, "doi": "10.3390/d15040539", "pmid": null, "labels": {"NGI Uppsala (Uppsala Genome Center)": "Service", "NGI Long read": "Service", "National Genomics Infrastructure": "Service"}, "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2023-05-22T20:07:06.043Z", "modified": "2023-06-19T13:40:26.946Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "e686a23d30f843c68a8042092d0f3036", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/e686a23d30f843c68a8042092d0f3036.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/e686a23d30f843c68a8042092d0f3036"}}, "title": "Changes in Chemical Properties and Fungal Communities of Mineral Soil after Clear-Cutting and Reforestation of Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)
