Some fungi use flower-visiting insects to facilitate sexual reproduction or to disperse spores. These fungi have evolved elaborate techniques, such as floral mimicry and the invasion of extant flower parts, for attracting 'pollinators'. Recent research shows that fungal exploitation of pollinators has the potential to affect floral evolution, pollination ecology, plant life history traits, as well as disease-transmission dynamics and fungal evolution.
有些真菌利用访花昆虫来促进有性繁殖或传播孢子。这些真菌进化出了各种精巧的技术,如花的拟态和对现存花部结构的侵占,来吸引“传粉者”。最近的研究表明,真菌对传粉者的利用有可能影响花的进化、传粉生态学、植物生活史特征,以及疾病传播动态和真菌进化。
