endophytes‚ we compared endophyte communities along a broad latitudinal gradient from the Canadian arctic to the lowland tropical forest of central Panama. Here‚ we use molecular sequence data from 1403 endophyte strains to show that endophytes increase in incidence‚ diversity‚ and host breadth from arctic to tropical sites. Endophyte communities from higher latitudes are characterized by relatively few species from many different classes of Ascomycota‚ whereas tropical endophyte assemblages are
