🇵🇪 We sampled for fungi through WATER, SOIL, and ROCK to better understand how deep soil fungi help regulate the carbon cycle with @tobykiers.bsky.social, Merlin Sheldrake, Fungi Foundation’s Giuliana Furci and collaborator Walter Huaraca 🇵🇪 Special thanks to Cosmo Sheldrake and Tomás Munita.

Dernières préparations avant le spectacle de ce soir, organisé avec le @cnrs.fr et le Jardin des Sciences de l’ @unistra.fr au Planétarium de Strasbourg. “L’archéologie Galactique avec les courants stellaires.” Salle comble !

I'm so grateful for this journey 👩‍🎓! Thank you @sebbyrust.bsky.social and @ccilelorrain.bsky.social for your guidance, and to all the inspiring people who help me reach higher and keep moving forward 🦋

I had such fun thinking, reading and writing this Tansley Review on #arbuscular #mycorrhizal #fungal mycelia. We need a more fungal-centric view to better understand not only the AM fungi, but also their many ecological roles. @newphyt.bsky.social 🔗 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/DHGB3S....

Great to see the results of our massive biodiversity assessment at Berchtesgaden Natl. Park pour in! Cool insights on patterns & drivers of multidiversity! #1 Macro- and microclimate interactively shape species diversity of multiple taxa in mountain landscapes by L. Geres. doi.org/10.1002/ecog...

Very proud to see part of @luzia-stalder.bsky.social inspiring PhD work now published in Microbiome! We tackled the lack of resolution that affects many plant microbiome studies by designing new barcoding loci from scratch. Our multi-kb amplicons resolve Pseudomonas and fungal strain diversity.

Still using 16S/ITS profiling? You might want to reconsider👀 Our new paper presents pangenome-informed amplicons that provide up to 10× higher phylogenetic resolution than full-length ribosomal markers- while remaining cost effective and scalable! microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

No doubt a large community of science fiction enthusiasts are eager to explore forests, both real and imagined… A fascinating discussion with Premee Mohamed, one of fantasy’s rising stars and author of The Butcher of the Forest. #Utopiales2025

First short introduction to @niooknaw.bsky.social before I officially start Monday! Even more excited to become part of the community 🌱

What Everyone Should Know About Fungi by Age 15 7️⃣ Mycorrhizal fungi help clean polluted soils by breaking down or immobilizing harmful substances. They act as filters, protecting groundwater & supporting healthier ecosystems. See the top 10 list (buff.ly/33Ov3UD) and follow for new fungal facts.

@tobybarilbio.bsky.social and I are very excited to release MycoMobilome! A very extensive effort to discover, QC and annotate TEs across the fungal kingdom. 👉 Ready-to-use for your own genome with a simple tutorial! 👉 Metadata about TEs discovered in your genome! 👉 Contribute and get recognition!

1/ Ever needed to annotate TEs in a fungal genome, but didn't know where to start? We have released #MycoMobilome, a community-focused non-redundant database of transposable element consensus sequences for the fungal kingdom, constructed from >4,000 fungal genomes! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The best two things in one database: Transposons and Fungi

In our latest paper in PNAS, we ask: How can scientific progress be accelerated to meet the urgent challenges of the Anthropocene? We point to significant barriers in forecasting & prediction efforts for the biosphere 🧵👇 🧪🌎🦋 1/n www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #ScienceTwitter #Ecology #Anthropocene

It’s been 14 years since I uploaded a video on YouTube showing that Striga does not infect other members of the Orobanchaceae family.JSPS Fellow Simon came to Japan and carried out mutant screening to find mechanism and it was 10 years ago that the mutant was finally obtained. A long journey.
