The interest in studying wood-inhabiting fungal communities has grown in recent years. This interest has mainly been motivated by the important roles of wood-inhabiting fungi in ecosystem functioning (e.g. nutrient cycling) and conservation biology (e.g. their sensitivity to forest management). In this paper, I argue that another important, but yet largely unexplored motivation for studying wood-inhabiting fungal communities, is their potential to advance fundamental community ecology. One major advantage of wood-inhabiting fungi as model systems is that they are organized as spatially well-defined metacommunities, thus conforming to the assumptions of many theoretical frameworks. Another major advantage is that they allow observations and manipulations over large numbers of local communities (habitat patches). After reviewing recent approaches in theoretical community ecology, I discuss how past empirical studies on wood-inhabiting fungal communities relate to community assembly processes, and provide future research directions on how the still unstudied assembly processes could be tackled using wood-inhabiting fungi as a model system.

Natural deadwood hosts more diverse pioneering wood‐inhabiting fungal communities than restored deadwood
Saine, Sonja; Penttilä, Reijo; Furneaux, Brendan; Monkhouse, Norman; Zakharov, Evgeny V.; Ovaskainen, Otso; Abrego, Nerea (Wiley-Blackwell, 2024)Deadwood can be recreated as a forest restoration measure to increase the amount of deadwood and assist deadwood-dependent biodiversity. While deadwood restoration is known to have an overall positive effect on associated ... -
Morphological traits predict host-tree specialization in wood-inhabiting fungal communities
Purhonen, Jenna; Ovaskainen, Otso; Halme, Panu; Komonen, Atte; Huhtinen, Seppo; Kotiranta, Heikki; Læssøe, Thomas; Abrego, Nerea (Elsevier, 2020)Tree species is one of the most important determinants of wood-inhabiting fungal community composition, yet its relationship with fungal reproductive and dispersal traits remains poorly understood. We studied fungal ... -
Traits and phylogenies modulate the environmental responses of wood‐inhabiting fungal communities across spatial scales
Abrego, Nerea; Bässler, Claus; Christensen, Morten; Heilmann‐Clausen, Jacob (Wiley, 2022)Identifying the spatial scales at which community assembly processes operate is fundamental for gaining a mechanistic understanding of the drivers shaping ecological communities. In this study, we examined whether and how ... -
Wood-inhabiting fungal responses to forest naturalness vary among morpho-groups
Purhonen, Jenna; Abrego, Nerea; Komonen, Atte; Huhtinen, Seppo; Kotiranta, Heikki; Læssøe, Thomas; Halme, Panu (Nature Publishing Group, 2021)The general negative impact of forestry on wood-inhabiting fungal diversity is well recognized, yet the effect of forest naturalness is poorly disentangled among different fungal groups inhabiting dead wood of different ... -
Fungal trait‐environment relationships in wood‐inhabiting communities of boreal forest patches
Dawson, Samantha K.; Berglund, Håkan; Ovaskainen, Otso; Jonsson, Bengt G.; Snäll, Tord; Ottosson, Elisabet; Jönsson, Mari (Wiley-Blackwell, 2024)Fungal traits can provide a mechanistic understanding of how wood-inhabiting fungi interact with their environment and how that influences community assembly in deadwood. However, fungal trait exploration is relatively new ...
