Super happy our Ecology Letters paper now is online! We found soil has memories! Soil can remember the historical plant living history and extreme drought. The coolest thing is these memories can have effects on the aboveground insects!!!👉 doi.org/10.1111/ele.14…

In soil a microorganism’s diet is central to its ecological niche and may serve as a foundation for developing ecological strategies. Read more in our new perspective: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gASS8g13Tqmr Soil Biology & Biochemistry Journal Bruce Hungate Benjamin Sulman @BrzostekLab

I'm excited to share our latest perspective article led by Morrissey Lab on how #carbon acquisition traits can be used to connect microbial #biodiversity with #soil C cycling. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Glaciers are tough places for life 🦠 🥶 Freezing temps & freeze-thaw cycles 🪫 Resource scarcity 🕶️ High UV 🌑 Long polar night So how do glacier microbes survive when conditions become intolerable? New paper explores dormancy among glacier microbes 🧵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

The Morrissey Lab at WVU is seeking a new graduate student to study soil microbial ecology, biogeochemistry, plant-microbe interactions! Fully funded GRA (~26K stipend, health insurance), lively community, great location. morrisseyem.wixsite.com/morrisseywvu please retweet WVU Davis College

Structuring your paper is hard and I'm very visually oriented, so I made these graphics/ cheatsheets that outline the content and their links of the intro, discussion, methods, and results. Read the accompanying post here: franciskadevries.wordpress.com/2023/01/19/the…

The Morrissey Lab WVU Mountaineers · Let's Go! is seeking a #graduate #student to study the #ecology of #microbes in #nature. Fully funded #PhD position (~26K stipend, health insurance), lively community, great location. morrisseyem.wix.com/morrisseywvu please RT

Time to let go of the microbial copiotroph/oligotroph crutch—esp at phylum level (e.g. “Proteos are r selected“) Congrats Bram Stone Bruce Hungate et al! Life history strategies among soil bacteria—dichotomy for few, continuum for many | ISME Journal nature.com/articles/s4139…

Just published: When #drought strikes, soil microbes acclimate, shift, and adapt. That could destabilize soil carbon if plants can't keep up with #ClimateChange. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

I am thrilled to announce that my first, first-author research article is now published. I am extremely grateful to my undergraduate mentor Aurora Gaxiola and all the ones who gave valuable feedback, including my advisor Steven Allison (1/9) doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

In our new study we estimate that soils harbour 59% of the global biodiversity and are the most species rich habitat on Earth. Over 500 million species/ taxa are associated to soil. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… @MAnthony02; S. Franz Bender; @uzh_en; @Agroscope; WSL Umweltforschung @wslresearch.bsky.social

So excited to introduce 🌲groves🌳, an R package for analyzing microbial phylogenomic trees alongside microbial gene trees! Work with the amazing 💚 Sarah Teichman💚 and 💚Mike Lee 💚 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Dear all, I have computed similarity cutoffs for different fungal clades of the newly released UNITE+INSD dataset. Please visit our github github.com/vuthuyduong/dn… to see how to use these cutoffs to improve eDNA fungal identification. Westerdijk Institute
