Now published: our work using phylodynamics from surveillance data to quantify and experimentally validate the fitness impact of antibiotic resistance determinants & how this changes with patterns of antibiotic use: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are extending the deadline to Feb 27, since we still have a few slots. 👉 A semi-informal event to interact with your peers, learn about cutting-edge research, and hear from two leaders in the field (Sophie Armitage & Dieter Ebert). And it's free! 🎉 PIs, please recommend to your grad students!

I am hiring a research assistant (vampire bats), a Panama fieldwork coordinator (vampire bats), and also considering postdoc apps (social behavior, any species): socialbat.org/2026/02/19/h...

Can anyone put me in the direction of a paper that synthesizes microbiome diversity across systems? Do we have any idea how variable the number of taxa in microbiomes is? I feel like I have seen this graph in a presentation but I’m not sure if there’s a publication looking at this. Thanks!!!!
