Using controlled crosses + reciprocal transplantations (2 years), we show: ➡️ Evidence of fine-scale local adaptation ➡️ Asymmetric response: ❄️ cold-origin plants perform poorly in 🔥warm soils, but not the other way round

Lupinen må vara vacker, men den ställer till problem för den biologiska mångfalden. Därför är det extra roligt att se DEEP-forskaren Olle Lindestad uppmärksammas för sin forskning om artens utbredning och spridning i Sverige, i samband med Stora Lupinbekämpardagen! 👇

6 juni är inte enbart Nationaldagen utan även Stora Lupinbekämpardagen, där allmänheten uppmuntras ge sig ut i naturen för att klippa ned eller rycka upp denna invasiva växt. Forskare vid @bolincentre.bsky.social kartlägger hur utbredd lupinen är i Sverige. www.su.se/nyheter/nyhe...

New study out now 🌊🔬 A new paper by DEEP researcher Alexis Fonseca reveals evidence of active cable bacteria living deep within anoxic marine sediments — challenging the long-standing view that these microbes are restricted to shallow sediment layers. Access the paper below!

Evidence for cable bacteria inhabiting deep in anoxic sediment reveals a novel ecological niche - Environmental Microbiome

Background Cable bacteria are filamentous sulphide-oxidisers capable of cm-scale electron transport. They are generally considered restricted to the upper few oxic–suboxic cm of marine sediments, wher...

Tiny invader, big surprises 🌱 🪲 A new DEEP-led study published in @springernature.com finds that the invasive moss Campylopus introflexus shakes up peatland life in southern Sweden, boosting beetle diversity while leaving spiders unaffected. Even moss invasions can reshape ecosystems!

Mixed effects of the invasive moss Campylopus introflexus on spider and beetle communities in disturbed peatlands in southern Sweden - Biological Invasions

Little is known about the effects of invasive bryophytes on native biodiversity. To date, the main documented effect is competition, mostly with other bryophytes. Campylopus introflexus is an invasive moss in Europe and North America that can form dense monocultural carpets that displace native vegetation and influence the composition of native arthropod communities. It was first recorded in Sweden in 1976, where it commonly invades disturbed peatlands and its invasion potential is currently assessed as ‘severe’. Despite this long invasion history, little is understood about its local impacts, including on ground-dwelling arthropods. We analysed the effect of C. introflexus invasion on ground-dwelling beetle and spider communities at 14 sites in south-west Sweden. We collected arthropods along paired transects (50–200 m apart) in disturbed peatlands that were invaded or uninvaded by C. introflexus. Pitfall traps were emptied during the months of July, August, and September. We characterized the ground layer vegetation using quadrats (50 × 50 cm) centred over pitfall traps. We collected 2237 beetles belonging to 109 species from 18 families and 2139 spiders belonging to 85 species from 18 families. We found that C. introflexus invasion was associated with increased beetle abundance, richness, and diversity, but had no effect on spider abundance, richness, and diversity. We found no effect of C. introflexus invasion on beetle or spider community composition. Our results suggest that C. introflexus invasion into disturbed peatlands affects beetle communities, demonstrating that bryophyte invasions can have ecological consequences and highlighting the need for further research on this often overlooked group.

Happy International Day for Biological Diversity 🌼 Biodiversity is at the heart of healthy ecosystems and a sustainable future. At DEEP, researchers like @yannickwoudstra.bsky.social work to better understand the plants, environments, and ecological processes shaping life on Earth.

Stockholm University@stockholm-uni.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Today marks the International Day for Biological Diversity and we highlight the research by @yannickwoudstra.bsky.social at @deepsthlmuni.bsky.social showing that pollenless dandelions have been more common in Sweden, which could reduce the availability of food for insects. www.su.se/nyheter/nyhe...

Soil microbes matter more than we thought 🌱 A new study by several Bolin Centre members shows that including microbial community composition (especially fungi:bacteria ratios) significantly improves predictions of soil respiration in managed Scots pine forests. Access the paper here:

Integrating microbial community composition with abiotic drivers enhances prediction of soil respiration in managed Scots pine forests

Carbon (C) turnover in forest soils is jointly controlled by abiotic factors, such as temperature, soil moisture, and soil properties, as well as micr…
