Hey #ant people - does anyone have a reliable number of how many ant genomes are currently published? Even better if you have a list! I can see 69 species on NCBI and 24 on Fourmidable - any help massively appreciated!

Despite growing awareness for #TropicalGrassyBiomes restoration, a systematic review by researchers from Centro de Síntese Ecológica e Conservação - CSEC unveils the lack of field studies and severe geographical gaps and data-reporting issues 📑

Dryland perennial plants create productive and biodiverse hotspots, known as fertile islands. In Nature Plants we report results from the first assessment of how grazing and other factors relate to plant-created fertile islands across global drylands nature.com/articles/s4147…

“Signs of the Underground” - I’m joining Baiba Pruse, Jamie Jackson, and Poppy Flint at The Nature of Cities festival in April 15 (online) and in June 7 (Berlin).

Together we invite you to develop science-art methods for symbiosis.

Why are there so many beetle species? And what can their symbionts tell us about how they adapt and diversify?

Loved chatting with Lesley Evans Ogden and Hassan Salem about our work for Knowable Magazine. Come for the beetles, stay for their wonderful symbioses. 🪲🦠🍄knowablemagazine.org/content/articl…

2 PhD & 1 Postdoc position are available in my group Universität Wien CeMESS. Each position focuses on a unique element of fungal ecology & plant-microbe interactions. Interested in applying? E-mail me to learn more. Informal inquiries are very welcome! shorturl.at/pES47

Do you want to support the very cool research that we do on impacts of global change on nutrient and carbon cycling?
