Eight years and thousands of samples later, results from one of our biggest long-term projects are finally published! 🌍💧🍄 The FunAqua dataset brings together aquatic fungal biodiversity data from 1,452 sites across 87 countries. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Root-microbe-fauna interactions regulate microbial carbon cycling in boreal forest soils
The mechanisms of soil carbon (C) cycling depend on belowground trophic interactions that regulate microbial organic matter processing, yet the role of soil fau

Benchmarking Illumina 2×500, PacBio and Oxford Nanopore for full-length ITS metabarcoding. PacBio performed best overall. More broadly, representative sampling is essential for reliably detecting land-use effects on soil biodiversity! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

DNA metabarcoding of mites from small soil samples: limited agreement with morphological identifications but improved results from long-read sequencing
The characterization of soil mite (Acari) communities traditionally follows morphological identifications of specimens extracted from soil, which is a highly laborious and time-consuming process. Meta...

Fungal phylum-level classification update now available! Used "innovative taxonomy" to describe >100 taxa, from species to phylum, based on long reads, characteristic nucleotides and env-samples. mycokeys.pensoft.net/article/1616... #fungi #taxonomy #PacBio #classification #eDNA
New fungal phylum-level system, with red font indicating novel taxa and size taxonomic diversity.
