New study in nature reveals oceanic islands – unlike mainlands – do not follow the observed global plant #biodiversity patterns. This has to do with mutualistic interactions. Why? Read now: doi.org/10.1038/s41586… Camille Delavaux Thomas Crowther Patrick Weigelt Evan Gora & James Bever

Plant diversity is usually much higher near the equator than the poles — but ocean islands buck the trend. Why? A new nature study reveals mutual symbioses may be a major filter. Led by Camille Delavaux ETH Zürich with Cary’s Evan Gora as senior author. caryinstitute.org/news-insights/…

Hey soil ecologists - what an exciting opportunity NL Inst of Ecology - DREAM JOB.

Dear Scientists: What do we do if we are reviewing a paper that is clearly AI written for significant portions of the text? The journal says AI assistance is ok but cannot be the primary writer. Do I make a comment on this to the authors or just report my suspicion to the editor?
