Movement ecology aims to provide common terminology and an integrative framework of movement research across all groups of organisms. Yet such work has focused on unitary organisms so far, and thus the important group of filamentous fungi has not been considered in this context. With the exception of spore dispersal, movement in filamentous fungi has not been integrated into the movement ecology field. At the same time, the field of fungal ecology has been advancing research on topics like informed growth, mycelial translocations, or fungal highways using its own terminology and frameworks, overlooking the theoretical developments within movement ecology. We provide a conceptual and terminological framework for interdisciplinary collaboration between these two disciplines, and show how both can benefit from closer links: We show how placing the knowledge from fungal biology and ecology into the framework of movement ecology can inspire both theoretical and empirical developments, eventually leading towards a better understanding of fungal ecology and community assembly. Conversely, by a greater focus on movement specificities of filamentous fungi, movement ecology stands to benefit from the challenge to evolve its concepts and terminology towards even greater universality. We show how our concept can be applied for other modular organisms (such as clonal plants and slime molds), and how this can lead towards comparative studies with the relationship between organismal movement and ecosystems in the focus.

主动运动在真菌生态和群落组装中的作用。

运动生态学旨在为所有生物体群体的运动研究提供通用术语和综合框架。然而，到目前为止，此类工作主要集中在单一生物体上，因此在这方面尚未考虑重要的丝状真菌类群。除孢子传播外，丝状真菌的运动尚未纳入运动生态学领域。与此同时，真菌生态学领域一直在使用自己的术语和框架推进知情生长、菌丝易位或真菌高速公路等主题的研究，忽视了运动生态学的理论发展。我们为这两个学科之间的跨学科合作提供了一个概念和术语框架，并展示了两者如何从更紧密的联系中受益：我们展示了如何将真菌生物学和生态学的知识放入运动生态学的框架中可以激发理论和实证的发展，最终导致人们更好地了解真菌生态和群落组装。相反，通过更加关注丝状真菌的运动特性，运动生态学将受益于将其概念和术语发展到更大的普遍性的挑战。我们展示了如何将我们的概念应用于其他模块化生物体（例如克隆植物和粘菌），以及这如何导致以生物体运动与生态系统之间的关系为重点的比较研究。
