Coupling field and laboratory studies of immunity and infection in zoonotic hosts
The COVID-19 pandemic and discovery of SARS-CoV-2-like viruses in Rhinolophus bats has reinforced the need to identify wildlife sources of zoonotic pathogens and to forecast where and when spillover to humans is likely to occur.The Lancet Microbe
Community diversity affects functionality and species sorting during propagation of a natural microbial community
The influence of community diversity on community function has long been a central question in ecology. Particularly, the dynamics over time of this relationship as a function of levels of diversity remains unclear.bioRxiv

This new research in Scientific Reports takes a #metagenomics and Q-PCR approach to explore the composition of the Cyanobacterial populations and their cyanotoxin production gene in major rivers across the United States (in 2019) and identifies Microcystis as the key toxin producing genus across this study.

This #research used stable isotope probing (SIP) to demonstrate that the bacterium digests plastics (to CO2), and also incorporates the plastic's carbon into its biomass.
Cool study! So we may be feeding specific organisms with our plastic waste. What may this mean for microbial #ecology? An #impact for sure, but the scale remains elusive..
This new research in Nature Microbiology explores how hydrogen in seawater supports growth of multiple and diverse #bacterial species.
Fof those (like me) in #Melbourne , you may be interested that the research also includes study of this process within #PortPhillipBay sediments.

Molecular hydrogen in seawater supports growth of diverse marine bacteria - Nature Microbiology
Genome-resolved metagenomics, biogeochemistry, modelling and culture-based analysis reveal that marine bacteria consume H2 to support growth.Nature
This exciting new research explores the influence of #virus #infection in changing the balance of organic matter degradation between #bacteria and #eukaryotes in #marine #carboncycling during #phytoplankton blooms.
Based on #mesocosm studies, this research demonstrates how #viruses infecting different #microorganisms change community dynamics and the release and potential fate of marine carbon from primary production.

Viral infection switches the balance between bacterial and eukaryotic recyclers of organic matter during coccolithophore blooms - Nature Communications
Algal blooms are hotspots of marine primary production that play central roles in microbial ecology and global elemental cycling.Nature
I'm an ecologist based in Berlin and I currently work on #lightpollution & its effects on #insects. I have also worked on a range of other topics in #ecology like #foodwebs & #invasivespecies
I'm also an editorial board member at the journal Oikos & a working group speaker for science communication at the Leibniz Postdoc Network
Looking forward to expand my #Mastodon community in 2023
Hi everyone,
I'm a German ecologist who loves to team up with e.g. #computersciences #arts #design #philosophy #EnvironmentalEthics
I am very concerned about the #biodiversitycrisis and therefore co-founded the NGO Symbio(s)cene (https://symbioscene.com/) as an #ArtsAndSciences collaboration, creating #visions for moving beyond the #anthropocene.
My current research is about #KnowledgeRepresentation working towards an #AtlasOfKnowledge
👋

We find that #antimicrobialpeptides are evolved to control specific #microbiome #bacteria. This example is a textbook case of host #immune #evolution being shaped by the microbiome 🦠 which depends on host #ecology.
Thanks for comments! Bit of an experiment: we are posting pre-submit to get feedback 🙂.

Single innate immune effectors control ecological microbiome bacteria across evolutionary timescales
Antimicrobial peptides are host-encoded antibiotics that combat invading microbes and help shape the microbiome in plants and animals.bioRxiv
For a short #permacomputing talk at zinecamp this sunday in Rotterdam/NL, we will be doing a small bingo about all the everyday situations created by inaccessible, incompatible, inefficient, rigid, failing, extractivist, environmentally disastrous crappy computer tech.
We do that to address several topics to a broader audience who may not be familiar with notions of vendor lock-in, proprietary standards, software bloat, cornucopianism, siliconization, planned obsolescence, software rot, maximalism, etc, and *yet* are suffering, like everyone else, from all this stuff on a daily basis.
Do you have ideas for silly situations and painful feels? We will make a final version this coming Saturday as well as credit contributors, and point to the post's URL. Of course we will also post the final bingo board here as well 😀
(and on the permacomputing wiki of course https://permacomputing.net)
Thanks!
:boost_requested: boosts are very very very much appreciated!
