Can #lichen forming fungi live without their #photobionts? Recent work brings evidence in this regard. Read more here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Congrats toAnders Dalhberg, Silvia Pioli, Mari Jönsson, Florian Barbi, Göran Thor, @veera-t-nogerius.bsky.social!

New research article investigates the role of #fungal communities in treeline expansion under global warming, finding that fewer #ectomycorrhizal fungi in alpine soils may limit the establishment of #Betula pubescens seedlings above the treeline. With Eivind Ronold, @drhyfe.bsky.social & Ella Thoen

Paper Alert @newphyt.bsky.social ! The diversity of #Archaeorhizomycetes the class of fungi commonly present in soil but little understood is finally revealed using long and short-read amplicons. Read more here nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.....

New paper by @aleixpalahi.bsky.social et al in #molecularecology. They unravelled the history behind the establishment of multiple disjunct distributions in Vanessa butterflies, highlighting the importance of long-distance dispersal and introgression in the process. shorturl.at/UFrrU

PAPER ALERT! @jesperboman.bsky.social et al just published @journal-evo.bsky.social. Their work 'On the origin of an insular hybrid butterfly lineage'. They came up with a #novel #method based on historical #recombination events (Fisher junctions) to understand this hybridisation event.

PAPER ALERT! Painted lady #Butterflies (Vanessa cardui) can fly long! They can even cross the ocean! Congrats for this great work @megansreich.bsky.social et al. ! @pnasnexus.org

Paper alert! @JesperBoman et al bring empirical evidence for the idea that #chromosome number differences between taxa can contribute to #speciation! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Paper alert! More evidence that sex-specific dominance of regulatory variants contributes to the maintenance of genetic variation in fitness mediated by sexually antagonistic selection in Seed Beetles! academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

Paper alert! A #lichen is more than meets the eye!
