I am very interested in the application of AI-based methods in ecology and believe that it still has a long way to go. I think this special feature covers some key points in ecological inference from different perspectives, which I hope will stimulate the development of this field

New paper! Here we saw how ectomycorrhizal, fungi exhibit a certain degree of functional redundancy, as different species can perform similar ecological roles, while saprotrophic fungi display higher niche complementarity. Hope you like it! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🚀 We’re excited to announce the launch of ForestDrought, the new app from the Catalan Forest Laboratory! With ForestDrought, you can visualize and download daily estimates of water balance for mainland Spain. Check it out ! laboratoriforestal.creaf.cat/forestdrough...

Very interesting talk by Otso Ovaskainen on the use of JSDM & HMSC for integrating community ecology data with env. variables, species traits, phylogenetic relationships in the spatiotemporal context, for community assembly processes Missed it? check @mostfun.bsky.social www.youtube.com/@MoSTFun_EU

Fantastic mycological excursion 🍄🌲 by @mycopat.bsky.social in an old-growth forests of the Lindsjön Nature Reserve, guided by Anders Dahlberg and with the wonderful collaboration of Alison Pouliot. 📸BTW, don’t miss her stunning fungal photography (and other) at alisonpouliot.com/fungal-realm/

Sampling on late growing season for FUN-URB Proj @wslresearch.bsky.social completed. With autumn arriving in Uppsala, the city’s trees and leaves look very different. How does urbanisation shape diversity and function of microbial communities on their leaves?

Just realized how many fossils cover the floors at Arlanda Airport The Öland limestone from the Ordovician and contain plenty of straight-shelled nautiloids. Not an expert, Orthoceras? If you're passing through, don't miss it. They're hard to miss once you notice them

Hackathon @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social completed 🧑‍💻 Amazing to share with so many people in such a unique environment We’ve been testing whether published data/code are truly reproducible. +1200 papers reviewed. Now waiting for the results 👀 and hoping it helps move towards a more open science

First autumn in Sweden 🍂 and I’m really enjoying the forest and the wide variety of mushroom (“svamp” in Swedish) species it hosts this time of year 🍄

“…when organisms interact can largely determine how they interact.” #Viewpoint: Is it all about timing? Identifying the symbiosis critical points that govern interactions among #bacteria, ectomycorrhizal #fungi, and land #trees By Louis Berrios 👇 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

It has been an incredible few days, sharing science, having fun together and enjoying a lot of activities 🚣‍♀️🍻🎯🍄😶‍🌫️🎉 I have recently landed in this department and I can't be happier with such a great team. tack

Empieza el #9CFE y desde el @ctforestal.bsky.social @udl.cat estaremos compartiendo nuestros últimos hallazgos en temas de diversidad y productividad de hongos 🍄🌲

Having fun with the FUN-URB proj, riding around Uppsala looking for native and non-native trees to examine the diversity patterns of foliar endophytic fungi on trees along urbanization gradients across Europe @wslresearch.bsky.social @mycopat.bsky.social Project info: www.wsl.ch/en/projects/...

🚨New review out in @ecography.bsky.social! 🔥Mechanistic niche models (MNMs) are the future—but they’re not plug-and-play. Our paper lays out how and when to use MNMs to predict invasive species distributions under climate change. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

This afternoon we will be presenting our poster on spatio-temporal trends of airborne pathogenic spores in Sweden at #efpp2025 10 years of continuous sampling will allow us to see how the presence of airborne pathogenic spores is related to climate change and what trends we can expect in the future

Here’s the menu for the 14th Conference of the European Foundation for Plant Pathology 🌿 #EFPP2025 #Uppsala From @mycopat.bsky.social we’ll be there bringing a few things to the table!📋😀

Threats from fungal diseases that attack pine and spruce are growing with climate change. But why are some trees more severely affected than others? Matilda Stein Åslund has investigated this in her thesis to help preserve our forests in the ongoing climate change. www.slu.se/en/ew-news/2...

Need Swedish weather data? 🌦☀☁🌨 In the 𝒔𝒎𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒐 package, I’ve implemented an easy way to access the #SMHI data. 📦Package rep: github.com/AlbertMorera... #meteo #Sweden #RStats

I have just released 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘅 🍄 an R package to automatically update fungal species names using Index Fungorum. Useful for anyone working with fungal taxonomy data. Repo: github.com/AlbertMorera... Happy to receive feedback #Bioinformatics #rstats

Last week I had the opportunity to visit the SLU Tönnersjöhedens försökspark in south-Sweden and the spore traps I've started working with at @mycopat.bsky.social These traps have been active for more than 10 years and have been sampled weekly, resulting in an exceptional airborne spore db
