Museum duty today @naturalis.bsky.social These colleagues are giving me a skeptical look 👀

The @erc.europa.eu MIXOTROPH sampling in Japan has come to an end. The success of this campaign was due to the support of Prof. Kenji Suetsugu (Kobe University) and his incredible team. I’m looking forward to continue our collaboration! 🌳 🍄

The last leg of the fieldwork brought me to the beautiful island of Yakushima. The lush ceder forests are incredible examples of the power of nature conservation, as most have been replanted in the 1960s. And if you walk far enough, you can still see trees of more than 1000 year old…

The @naturalis.bsky.social MIXOTROPH team headed to Shiga prefecture to sample a forest site with Burmannia cryptopetala. Sample site nr 3 in Japan ✅

A beautiful mixed forest near Nagoya with plenty of Petrosavia sakurai became our next sampling site 🌳 🌲

The @naturalis.bsky.social MIXOTROPH team is in Kobe, Japan for some more sampling!

I have a PhD position available at @naturalis.bsky.social to work on soil biodiversity and drought in urban environments, as part of the NWA Thirsty Cities project 🏡🌳🍄 👉🏻 www.naturalis.nl/en/about-us/...

Had a super inspiring visit to the lab of @vkokkoris.bsky.social today @vuamsterdam.bsky.social Sometimes the most promising opportunities are just around the corner 🍄‍🟫🌿

Our newest research in @nature.com We built a robot (!) to track plant-fungal trade networks. By following half a million fungal highways & nutrient flows within them, we discovered how plants & fungi build hyper-efficient supply chains www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📹 @sasaspacal.bsky.social

Join our lab in Amsterdam. We are looking for a Netherlands-based Technician/Analist (MBO-4 level) to apply advanced microscopy, imaging, and molecular techniques to study fungal-plant interactions. 2-yr position See link for details. Applications due Feb 23rd. workingat.vu.nl/vacancies/te...

“It is predicted that the number of novel operational taxonomic units delimited by barcode sequencing is likely to eclipse the number of species described by Linnean taxonomy by as early as 2029” onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

‪When did herbarium in Leiden become this big? Trends in collection of regular specimens vs. types; fungi and lichens; notable collectors and expeditions. (Mind that only ca. 20% of fungarium is digitized.)

Some ectomycorrhizal root tips I recently had the pleasure of photographing. #mycorrhizal #emfungi #mycorrhizae

Stoked about this manuscript, many years in the making. We present an original resource of ~700 highly curated plastid MAGs of marine pelagic algae. Among these we found a novel deep branching group of plastid genomes; we informally call them leptophytes www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Flags in the forest: the @naturalis.bsky.social MIXOTROPH team is mapping mycorrhizal networks in Khao Yai National Park 🍄🌳 #mycorrhiza #mixotrophy

Final stop in Thailand: Khao Yai National Park. Beautiful views and forests with giant members of the Burmanniaceae family: Burmannia disticha #mycoheterotrophy #mixotrophy @naturalis.bsky.social

The @naturalis.bsky.social MIXOTROPH team at work: selecting sampling sites along the Mekong river in Thailand.

A new year, new adventures! The ERC Mixotroph team of @naturalis.bsky.social arrived in Thailand for fieldwork in collaboration with Mahidol University 🌳🍄

Ons vlaggenschip-project @arisenl.bsky.social bouwt een infrastructuur die alle Nederlandse soorten kan herkennen, en vormt daarmee de basis voor onze nog veel grotere ambities. Daar hebben we wel wat hulp bij nodig. Kennen jullie een Data Engineer met biodiversiteitsambitie?

We found this ghost redwood tree this weekend while camping this weekend @jrossibarra.bsky.social . It's a rare chlorophyll mutant growing clonally off of the base of huge coastal redwood

Popping up here!
