We invite applications for a PhD student to work on the microbial community structure and biogeochemical function along spatial connectivity gradients in three ocean basins

We invite applications for a PhD student to work on the microbiomes of crustose coralline algae (CCA) across tropical mangrove–seagrass–reef corridors.

If we don’t slow down, the research enterprise is going to crash, argues Adrian Barnett.

EMBL and its community are deeply saddened by the death of Peer Bork, the organisation’s Interim Director General.

The Marine Symbiomes Group joined the TMHM Symposium 2025 in Padova to discuss new approaches to marine host–microbe symbioses and climate change impacts.

Soils are highly heterogeneous ecosystems hosting multiple organisms engaged in trophic interactions. We introduce the economic spectrum of soil food …

Soil and plant microbiomes significantly impact plant nutrient acquisition. Singh and colleagues review field-related progress and propose a modified eco-evolutionary framework that considers plant an...

An EMBL | EMBO symposium explored the ‘wild frontiers’ of model organisms, from phytoplankton to sea anemones, waterstriders, roundworms, and more.

Johannes Krause et al. synthesized seagrass carbon stock data from 2700+ soil cores to find that they vary by plant functional group and coastal setting, indicating where conservation efforts would mo...

(Belda et al., 2024; Environmental Microbiology): Wine has as much to contribute to ecology and evolution as ecology and evolution have to contribute to wine.

Check out the latest update on an in situ experiment launched near Napoli as part of the PRIN ENGAGE project. The experiment aims to test Posidonia oceanica resilience to coastal eutrophication when i...

Johanna Berlinghof successfully defended her PhD on seagrass microbiome research, earning a magna cum laude! Read more!

Are you interested in environmental microbiology, the deep biosphere, and Arctic climate change? We are looking for a postdoctoral microbiologist to join our in

The Trump administration has attempted to cut staff at a vital agency that keeps us safe. Here's what we can do about it.

Dr. Elena Quintanilla wins a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship to conduct marine symbiosis research at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, while Dr. Alice Blanckaert moves to the Centre Scientifique d...

Symbiont-housing structures are well-studied in multicellular eukaryotes but rarely in unicellular protists. This study shows that low-oxygen-adapted Anaeramoebae have symbiosomes positioning sul...

The Symposium on Cellular Underpinnings in Host-Microbe Crosstalk addresses a significant knowledge gap in the metaorganism research: the cellular-level interactions between hosts and microbes.

Abstract. Red Sea mangroves have a lower carbon burial rate than the global average, whereby small greenhouse gas fluxes may offset a large proportion of carbon burial. Monthly soil core sampling was ...

Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Sponges commonly form associations within seagrass meadows, but their potential impact on seagrass productivity and nutrient cycles remains poorly understood. This study investigates the association b...
