The only "positive" effect that the current Hantavirus visibility may have is that may lead funding and attention for this high-fatality virus, which has recurrent outbreaks in Argentina, Chile, and elsewhere. Here doing fieldwork in Patagonia with @nahpo.bsky.social during a Hantavirus outbreak.

Have you checked our new paper in @biolinvasions.bsky.social? We tested #InvasionalMeltdown between invasive #Fungi and #InvasivePlants using #Suillus and #Pine species across an invasiveness gradient—and found that invasive Suillus only boost invasive pines. 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Evidence for invasional meltdown in plant-fungal co-invasions - Biological Invasions

Invasive symbiotic fungi have been transported around the world, but their role in the shaping of ecosystems is not fully understood. We experimentally tested whether the invasiveness of ectomycorrhiz...

Equity in science is a beautiful lie — and I’m done pretending

Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.

New paper! I'm particularly excited about it We know very little about mycorrhizal fungi invasions, and our idea was that the few that could do free living, would be better at invading As often happens in science, we were wrong & learned a lot:) I❤️Science link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Invasive ectomycorrhizal fungi species do not grow better in culture than non-invasive species without their hosts - Symbiosis

Progress has been made in describing invasion patterns of invasive ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF), yet their ecological characteristics and implications remain poorly understood. Invasive EMF are able to...

How did North American and European fungi end up in Argentine forests? New research in @newphyt.bsky.social from UE @nahpo.bsky.social and @martin-nunez.bsky.social looks underground at how non-native tree species and their fungal partners have spread. Read here: buff.ly/919OOs0

New paper! I am excited about it, since it has some very cool contributions on: -Status of Invasive ectomycorrhizal fungi -Definition of what is a invasive mycorhizal 🍄 -Cool picture of trees being brought from Europe in 1920! Lead by @nahpo.bsky.social! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
