Thanks to Kasun Bodawatta @kbodawatta.bsky.social for visiting us at @animecol-uu.bsky.social Uppsala University! Kasun gave a very interesting talk about eDNA methods, such as using mosses, to survey the local flora and fauna. 🧬

Welcome David to the group! 🥳

After a couple of failed applications, I am very excited that one panned out. I will be starting my first independently funded fellowship in September! My project will be hosted at the @animecol-uu.bsky.social Uppsala University #DiseaseEcology #Microbiome #SpatialEpidemiology #Hantavirus

Excited to announce that I am organizing a symposium on "Microbiomes in Conservation" at #ISME20 in Auckland, New Zealand together with Madeleine van Oppen. Consider submitting an abstract; it will be a fab conference! Deadline Feb 15! isme-microbes.org/isme20-sessi... @isme-microbes.bsky.social

Today I had the chance to show some preliminary data from my wolverine #microbiome project at our program symposia Revolution @animecol-uu.bsky.social 🦠

Happy to share the recent paper by Marta Garrigós et al. Effects of avian #Plasmodium exposure on the #microbiota of #Culex pipiens. 🦟🦠 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Marta spent a month in our group at UU last year; great to see this published! @jmartinezpuente.bsky.social @cenkvist.bsky.social

📢 We have an open position for a postdoc to join my lab. It's a great position @animecol-uu.bsky.social, fully salaried for 2.5 years with all benefits. www.uu.se/en/about-uu/... The project is about transmission patterns of bacteria and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in aquatic insects. 🧬🦠 (1/3)

If you like genomics, speciation, and primates, this PhD position is for you! Unraveling the genomic architecture of speciation and gene flow in guenons, a diverse group of African monkeys. Funding through DTP. Do reach out with questions! #genomics #genome_assembly evol.mcmaster.ca/brian/evoldi...

Our lab group went out to celebrate the recent big grant with some cocktails and delicious food! 🥂🎉 Qianrui, @estermart.bsky.social, @cenkvist.bsky.social, @madeleinebergstrom.bsky.social

Excited to share that I was awarded a 6M SEK grant from Formas, the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development ! 🎉 The project is about the early-life gut #microbiome of reindeer calves, and how it's associated with their health and growth. 🦌🦠🧬

At a recent journal club, we discussed this paper on urban coyote #microbiomes and diet by Sugden et al., and I really enjoyed reading it. 😊 An altered microbiome in urban coyotes mediates relationships between anthropogenic diet and poor health. 🐺 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Thanks #ESEB2025 for a great conference! Our group had a lot of fun meeting people, learning new things, and talking about our research! @madeleinebergstrom.bsky.social @estermart.bsky.social @cenkvist.bsky.social @matiasbeck.bsky.social

Come by mine and my groups posters on wild animal #microbiomes this afternoon!

Charlotte Enkvist @cenkvist.bsky.social presents a poster about gut microbiomes in the Scandinavian wolverine. P01.080. #ESEB2025

Animal Ecology on tour! 🦎🐟🐔🦠📈 Some masters, PhDs and post-docs (and more!) from Uppsala University are enjoying #ESEB2025 in the warm Barcelona🌞 @joshuahufton.bsky.social @cenkvist.bsky.social @madeleinebergstrom.bsky.social @estermart.bsky.social @msiljestam.bsky.social

Wild Animal Microbiome Evolution (WAME) @stn-wame.bsky.social satellite meeting today prior to #ESEB2025 was fun!

Interested in host-associated microbiomes? Attending @eseb2025.bsky.social? Then come check out Symposium S07 on Monday August 18th and hear all about how microbiomes contribute to adaptation. Gut microbiomes, climate change, thermal physiology, behaviour, invasion biology, blood-feeding, and more!

Congratulations Gabriel Hedman Slottner on a successful MSc thesis presentation and defense! 🎉 #microbiome 🐸🌡️🦠

Thanks to the @qvarnstromlab.bsky.social and @elinvidevall.bsky.social I had the great experience of participating in the fieldwork on Öland where we collected data from pied and collared flycatchers for the flycatcher project at Uppsala university! 🐦🐣

We will look for a postdoc after the summer to start a new project on transmission of microbiota and antimicrobial resistance in lake flies. 🦠🧬🦟 It primarily involves experiments in the lab (transmission between predator-prey, vertical, species) and metagenomic sequencing to find AMR genes.

Got to meet Suki the wolverine female at Vildriket, Järvsö. Have lots of samples from her and her boyfriend Sid, but he was too comfortable sleeping in the sun to come out ☀️ Thanks @madeleinebergstrom.bsky.social for the video

Last month was filled with exciting events! I attended and presented a poster at the Oikos meeting Sweden at the Natural History museum in Stockholm. I also helped organized our internal conference at EBC, where I also presented a talk 😄🦠🐴 @nordicoikos.bsky.social @animecol-uu.bsky.social

Really cool PhD project with a fantastic group and PI 🙌 We have a great department with fun people like yours truly ☺️

📣 New PhD position on flycatchers with @qvarnstromlab.bsky.social — spread the word! Combine bioinformatics, long-term datasets and field work to explore climate adaptation and speciation in the lovely flycatchers. Join us in Uppsala, Sweden! Apply by Mar 18: www.uu.se/en/about-uu/... #ecoevojob

. @madeleinebergstrom.bsky.social also gave a great talk about feral horse gut microbiomes! 🐎🦠🧬

Gabriel presented a poster about the effects of temperature and diet on the gut #microbiome of Natterjack toad tadpoles! 🐸🌡️🥦🦠 At this early stage, he has only research plans, but results are coming soon! 🧬

At 'Revolution' symposium today: Prof. Bengt Hansson went in depth on sex chromosome evolution in birds, very intriguing patterns of fussions & reduced recombination! 😮 And more talks from local researchers, ornithology, theoretical models, freshwater biodiversity... 💕👏
