Over the past few days, we took the opportunity to explore the beautiful habitats and ☀️ weather in the best company. Now fully charged for the field season! 💪 Let the summer begin!🍀🌸🪰

We are reopening a search for a postdoc in my group. I am looking for a curious person with an interest in plant-soil / plant-insect interactions to join our large and diverse team (research-groups.usask.ca/bennett-lab). 1/4

Precisely ONE WEEK ❗️to apply for a post-doc position in our department! If you love 💚🤎interactions between plants and soil communities, this can perfectly match you. ⬇️

Do you have a PhD, your topic is related to plants or soil and you are looking for new challenges?🧐 Come join us Plant Evolutionary Ecology lab! We are almost at full swing with nice people and some of the research established but plenty of more to discocer European Research Council (ERC) project!

Kicking off the semester with a new #PhD student👨‍🎓Meet Philemon Gyamfi, who will explore multi-trophic #interactions in invaded plant communities 🦠🌱🪳 during the next 4 years. Have wonderful discoveries in the science and beyond, Philemon!

What a busy week refreshing our knowledge about sedges and grasses 🌾, doing annual measurements of BugNet site and harvesting photometer plants 🌱 (or what's left of them 🐐 🐌 ).

Interested in plant functional traits? Or just in traits of any organism? Check our discussion in nature on how trait selection influences (or not) the characteristics of synthetic functional spaces like the global spectrum of plant form and function:

What a treat it has been doing fieldwork in Pyrenees, assisting Guille Bueno with setting up a #BugNet experimental site🪲🦗, collecting samples to examine plant-microbe interactions🌱🦠, enjoying the plants🌼🪻, views, food and company 🤓

My lab is looking for two postdocs, a PhD student, and a technician to join a set of new, collaborative, and well-funded projects exploring multi-trophic interactions in grasslands and identifying management interventions that can enhance the associated ecosystem services. 1/4

Busy day setting up an experiment with a wonderful team - 150 genotypes of Briza media from #Öland will be growing on different soils and challenged with #drought European Research Council (ERC) Nianxun XI Kadri Koorem Anastasia Tõnisson HonorPrentice

Thank you,The Centre of Estonian Rural Research and Knowledge #METK , for the warm welcome, introduction of the research and facilities! 🌾🌿☘️🍀🥔 Hopefully, many seeds spread for new collaborations! 🦠🧑‍🌾👩‍🔬

#Summer weather in combination with #spring vegetation was just perfect for the first fieldwork of the season! 😎Grow well, little #BugNet phytometers, we'll be back soon after setting up a new experiment for #PlantSoilAdapt 💪 Plant Evolutionary Ecology lab Anastasia Tõnisson Siim-Kaarel Sepp
