New publication! 🍄🏖🛢 We explored how the 2021 OC oil spill affected marine fungal communities. Spoiler: Despite strong temporal environmental variation and rapid cleanup efforts, we detected subtle changes in community composition at higher oiling levels. Find it here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

Necromass of Diverse Root‐Associated Fungi Suppresses Decomposition of Native Soil Carbon via Impacts of Their Traits

We investigated the decomposition of diverse root-associated fungi, their influence on native soil carbon (C) dynamics and the relationship of these processes with fungal traits. Fungal melanin, blac....

Interesting "One key finding is that postdoc period seems more important than doctoral training to achieve early-career success. Another group of findings can be summarised as a Goldilocks principle: It seems beneficial to change one’s direction, but not too much" www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...
