Congratulations Qianrui Yang, who successfully defended her MSc thesis today! Well done! Her thesis investigated both gut microbiomes and mitochondrial metabolic rate in hybrid Ficedula flycatchers. 🐦🦠🧬🩸 @animecol-uu.bsky.social

A new phD position in my lab about amphibian, infection diseases in a global changing world. Check it out! And spread the word ;)

New review paper on bird #microbiome methods out! Bridging the gap: improving methodologies for future avian microbiome research 🐦🦠🧬 #OA @avianbiology.bsky.social @charlisdavies.bsky.social @kbodawatta.bsky.social nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

📢 We have an open position for a postdoc to join my lab. It's a great position @animecol-uu.bsky.social, fully salaried for 2.5 years with all benefits. www.uu.se/en/about-uu/... The project is about transmission patterns of bacteria and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in aquatic insects. 🧬🦠 (1/3)

Our lab group went out to celebrate the recent big grant with some cocktails and delicious food! 🥂🎉 Qianrui, @estermart.bsky.social, @cenkvist.bsky.social, @madeleinebergstrom.bsky.social

Thanks #ESEB2025 for a great conference! Our group had a lot of fun meeting people, learning new things, and talking about our research! @madeleinebergstrom.bsky.social @estermart.bsky.social @cenkvist.bsky.social @matiasbeck.bsky.social

Ester Martinez Renau @estermart.bsky.social presents a poster about hybrid flycatcher gut microbiomes. P01.089. #ESEB2025

Animal Ecology on tour! 🦎🐟🐔🦠📈 Some masters, PhDs and post-docs (and more!) from Uppsala University are enjoying #ESEB2025 in the warm Barcelona🌞 @joshuahufton.bsky.social @cenkvist.bsky.social @madeleinebergstrom.bsky.social @estermart.bsky.social @msiljestam.bsky.social

Wild Animal Microbiome Evolution (WAME) @stn-wame.bsky.social satellite meeting today prior to #ESEB2025 was fun!

We will look for a postdoc after the summer to start a new project on transmission of microbiota and antimicrobial resistance in lake flies. 🦠🧬🦟 It primarily involves experiments in the lab (transmission between predator-prey, vertical, species) and metagenomic sequencing to find AMR genes.

Thanks to the @qvarnstromlab.bsky.social and @elinvidevall.bsky.social I had the great experience of participating in the fieldwork on Öland where we collected data from pied and collared flycatchers for the flycatcher project at Uppsala university! 🐦🐣

Awarded a small project grant today for additional funds to the hybrid flycatcher #microbiome project! 🎉💰 So happy we have @estermart.bsky.social leading this exciting work! 😊🙏 Can't wait til we get some data.. 🧬🦠🐦

Had a great time presenting my work @Evolution in Sweden. Epigenetic regulation of immune response in the Swedish sand lizard 🦎 #hostparasite #sexspecific #epigenetics #reptiles #immunity
