An arbuscular mycorrhiza from the 407-million-year-old Windyfield Chert identified through advanced fluorescence and Raman imaging 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Summary also available in French and Spanish. @nhm-london.bsky.social #PlantScience

Interesting new work on bird microbiomes challenging the notion of a lacking signal of phylosymbiosis - www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The extent to which closely related hosts share similar gut microbiota fascinates me. Work that truely stands out to me comes from @bperezlamarque.bsky.social and colleagues using process-based modelling over correlative approaches - a 'must' read #mevosky academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

Did you know coronavirus infections impact the gut microbial community of #bats? But the effect differs between viruses. Published in @ismepublications.bsky.social - Big team effort: @alice-risely.bsky.social @cdrosten.bsky.social @vmcorman.bsky.social et al. academic.oup.com/ismecommun/a...

Check out this cool work from @crouxevo.bsky.social and others, congrats!!! 🥳 Rapid establishment of species barriers in plants compared with that in animals | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Using long-term monitoring samples from terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, we tracked tens of thousands of species across Germany using eDNA, and found no universal loss in local communities, but stronger-than-expected compositional turnover and biotic homogenization at the regional scale.

New preprint reexamining codiversification in mycorrhizal symbioses! 🌱🍄 Spoiler: We found evidence of coevolution, but not cospeciation/codiversification. Congrats Fantine for your great work! 😁

Last first-author paper finally published! This took too many years but even after leaving research we manage to get it done, with Odile Maliet, @leandrist.bsky.social, @noguesbravo.bsky.social, @n8upham.bsky.social, Walter Jetz, and really supportive Hélène Morlon www.nature.com/articles/s41...
