Not all fungi handle mycelium the same way. New work from @Dimitrious Fluodas & @kaleklett.bsky.social shows species-specific differences in mycelial persistence & turnover under changing nutrient conditions (microfluidics). Relevant for soil carbon processes. doi.org/10.1111/nph....

Final reminder 📢 We are looking for a #philbio or #philphysics postdoc for an interdisciplinary project exploring the boundary between living and nonliving systems through the lens of self-organization & active matter 👇 www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jo... #philjobs #philsky #HPS #devbio Please share!

Mycelial turnover and persistence in wood decay fungi van Bokhoven et al. @kaleklett.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/CVTHSW...

Excited to share our latest publication, just out. It has been a fantastic collaboration that took a lot of meticulous lab work and image analysis from Roos, and led to long discussions and deep dives into mycelial development and fungal life histories. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/6ZEPAC...

Kirsty Wan (@micromotility.bsky.social) starts the second day of the workshop with a tour de force overview of the behavioral complexity of single-celled organisms and ways to study and model it. #evosky #cellbio #HPbio

Kristin Aleklett (@kaleklett.bsky.social) from Lund University deep diving into the challenges and opportunities for studying the behvioral ecology of fungi. Tinbergen's 4 Qs are applicable, but some are trickier than others (e.g., development) #evosky #fungi #philsky #behaviouralecology #philbio 🧪

BIG NEWS: Fungi take the spotlight on the IUCN Red List! 🌏🍄@iucnfungi.bsky.social For the first time, over 1,000 fungi have been assessed - helping us understand the threats they face from habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. 🧪⚒️ #FungiFridays #Conservation

Fungal mycelia are finally getting the spotlight they deserve! And how could they not? Their morphology is just stunning! We tracked our friend Absidia sp. forming this intricate exploratory mycelium, showcasing unique elongation and branching patterns #fungi #mycelium #networks

Today's #birddivination from the peregrine falcon. Available as a stand-alone print at bit.ly/peregrinediv... and as part of the almanac of 100 (along with the story behind these) at almanacofbirds.org

This could maybe be an opportunity to come do a research visit with us in Lund?

Our newest research on plant-fungal trade published today in @nature.com. The work, led by scientists from Vrije Universiteit, Princeton University, SPUN & AMOLF combines robotics, mycology & biophysics to reveal underground supply-chain dynamics. Open access: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’m very happy to share our latest paper on arbuscular mycorrhizal traits. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

"Dormancy in the origin, evolution and persistence of life on Earth" @royalsociety.org: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

This is so true. Natural history is such an important part of ecology. Not knowing the actual organisms in the real world makes it very hard to understand the interconnectedness, and the role of time and space. #naturalHistory

Thanks @cfemycolab.bsky.social for bringing the gang back together on bluesky 😆🍄🥳🙋‍♀️ I’m sure there’s more of my followers that could be added to this list! bsky.app/profile/did:...

New paper published in @JournalSpectrum 😍 doi.org/10.1128/spec... co-authors: @pelleohlsson.bsky.social , Saleh Moradi, and @edithhammer.bsky.social We observed that the sole connectivity of a microhabitat can determine the function (substrate degradation) of a soil community. How? (1/5)👇

Every two years, ISME celebrates the achievements of scientists who have substantially advanced the field of microbial ecology. If you know of outstanding members of the community worthy of an ISME Society Award, please fill in the nominations ballot by 31 Jan 2025👇🏼 isme-microbes.org/call-for-ism...

Before 1881, scientists used gelatin to grow bacteria. It worked—until the cultures melted in summer or got devoured by bacteria! Microbiology needed a better solution. Enter Fanny Hesse, a lab assistant with a brilliant idea

First day at #Mycologynordics was a blast. So fun to hear about all the great mycological research going on and make connections with our neighbours.

Do you like soil, microbes and beautiful cities? Join us at #EGU25 in Vienna for our session SSS4.1 "Microbial physiology shapes soil biogeochemical processes across scales". Organized with @edithhammer.bsky.social and @kaleklett.bsky.social. Happy to welcome François Maillard as invited speaker

Got this message from my husband this morning and it really made my day #wishlistofafiveyearold #dearsantamoresoilscienceplease

Want to learn more about the wonderful world of soil biodiversity? Well then here's the starter pack for you! If I've accidentally missed anyone off the list then please let me know in the comments. Also check out @msteinwandter.bsky.social who has been working on one too! go.bsky.app/UxXTyxD

Hi 👋 🦋! For all new followers, I’m a microbial ecologist working with #microfluidic chip systems to better understand the lives of #fungi, how they interact with each other and other organisms (like collembola) in the soil. I also enjoy studying #plantmicrobiomes and arbuscular #mycorrhizal fungi.

A wondrous vintage children's book for grownups about life, death, and how to be more alive every day from the forgotten poet Joseph Pintauro, born on this day in 1930

Hallo Blueskylers. Todays lab outcome: nice video footage on nanoplastic interaction with fungal hyphae. U see green nanoplastic dots depositing or bypassing the hyphae (alongated shape). Not good for publication, but exciting to look at 😀 #nanoplastic #groundwater #fungi #microfluidics #soilchip

"Openly available illustrations as tools to describe #eukaryotic #microbial #diversity" a much-needed aid for microbiology educators, too!!! Thank you,authors #phytoplankton #protist #algae #education #biodiversity #limnology #oceanography #soil #marine #freshwater journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

We just got the first snow in Skåne and even though I really like the fall colours, it’s nice with some crisp sunny days with snow too ☺️🍁❄️☀️

A really useful and nicely done review about microfluidics and their use in ecological studies. 'Microfluidic Approaches in Microbial Ecology' - now published in Lab on a Chip. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Starter Packs are great, but they favor well established individuals (understandably so). To help prop up new voices, here is a set of early career ecologists (self defined) who are, or would like to become, active on BlueSky Please reply if you would like to be included! go.bsky.app/Di74bDy
