Host specificity of plant‐associated bacteria is negatively associated with genome size and host abundance along a latitudinal gradient

Genome streamlining and horizontal transmission of microbes play a key role in the evolution of host specialization of leaf-associated symbioses.

Effects of host phylogeny, habitat and spatial proximity on host specificity and diversity of pathogenic and mycorrhizal fungi in a subtropical forest

Host effects dominate the assembly of both plant-pathogenic and mycorrhizal fungal communities. Pathogens were specialized at lower-level and mycorrhizal fungi at higher-level host taxa.
