Excellent commentary urging coupling of field and laboratory research on viruses in just bats but also other animals. Bridging the gaps between ecology, veterinary/wildlife pathology, human health, and lab-based molecular studies are imperative. #OneHealth #veterinarymed #wildlifepathology #virology #ecology

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

Blooms of #Cyanobacteria pose a significant threat to #freshwater systems including rivers driving both #eutrophication and its dire implications for freshwater species as oxygen availability plummets and also the additional threat posed by #cyanotoxins produced by some Cyanobacteria.
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.

As we (humans) get to grips with how to scale up #hydrogen as an energy source (and for energy storage) and as part replacement for #fossilfuels, this new research (once again) shows that #microbes have beaten us to it and evolved their own solutions for energy - in this case using hydrogen power.
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
#Virus control
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.

Never done a proper #introduction since opening my #Mastodon account in early October so here we go
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
#introductions
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 (symbioscene.com/) as an #ArtsAndSciences collaboration, creating #visions for moving beyond the #anthropocene.
My current research is about #KnowledgeRepresentation working towards an #AtlasOfKnowledge

Happy to announce this #preprint , the culmination of last 10 years. 🥳
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 🙂.
