How specialized are forest fungi 🍄‍🟫? Very. In our new study of 11 forest substrates, 63% of 2,772 fungal species were found in only a single substrate, and over 70% occurred in fewer than three. 📑 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #Fungi #Mycology #ForestEcology #Ecology #BiodiversityScience

How much does sampling design matter in soil biodiversity surveys? A lot. Our new manuscript shows how diversity changes with sampling design, depth, subsample number, and pooling. I'm especially happy this is the first manuscript from Meirong Chen's PhD work, and very proud of her progress.

Heatmap comparing richness ranks across soil sampling designs for three organism groups: animals, bacteria, and fungi. Three side-by-side panels, with various sampling designs by rows, and habitats (marked by tree icons) by columns.

20+ years on #Linux, 🧬🖥️ #bioinformatics pipelines daily - and one relaxed moment running a colleague's script nearly wiped my $HOME 😅 Here's how a silent cd+rm combo escaped my project dir, the original script was quite tangled, but it hid this construct [ ⚠️ danger zone, don't run 🔥 ]

Terminal screenshot showing a minimal bash loop demo: starting in $HOME/project, a for loop runs cd subdir (which fails if missing), then rm * in the current directory, followed by cd .., so on the next iteration it climbs to $HOME and rm * risks deleting files there.

🍄📖 Do high-impact journals lead to more fungal species discoveries? Think again! Low or even no-impact factor journals contribute significantly! Let's value research quality over impact metrics in funding and hiring decisions! Read more @MycoKeys: mycokeys.pensoft.net/article/136048

A newly discovered fungal species emerges from the open pages of a scientific book, surrounded by various lab journals and books, with research tools scattered around. The image highlights the connection between scientific discovery and publishing.
