Our takeaway: if we want to understand forest soils, we need to look beyond fungi. Metatranscriptomics reveal important players that PCR-based approaches miss. Really happy to share our new article: Protistan Predators Outshine Fungi in Forest Soil Activity. #ProtistsOnSky #MicrobialEcology #Soil

Chapter 3 of my thesis is now available as a preprint in @biorxiv-ecology.bsky.social We compared 3+ years of coastal microbial time-series from an equatorial site (EAMO, 6°S) and a temperate site (BBMO, 41°N). Our work reinforces the need for observatories across latitudes to track ocean change.

Ecological processes shaping marine microbial assemblages diverge between equatorial and temperate time-series

Marine microbial communities are structured by a complex interplay of deterministic and stochastic processes, yet how these vary across latitudes remains poorly understood. Most long-term microbial ob...

OK, I knew cats were bad for birds but I did not realize just HOW bad. (Window collisions are less surprising to me. We regularly find dead birds in our yard from window collisions, despite putting stuff on the windows that are supposed to make the birds notice there's a window there.)
