A follower asked me if it's possible to use a custom map (e.g., if you have the shape file) in the #Rstats #phytools function phylo.to.map -- and (although a bit of a pain) it absolutely is! I provide a demo here 👉 blog.phytools.org/2016/07/update….

We've just published this. The endangered freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) is affected by a novel gregarine parasite associated with mass mortality events onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/je…

Check out our new paper that brings a possible explanations why Swedish populations of the endangered fresh water perl mussel are dying. The culprit seems to be #Nematopsis a #gregarine #parasite

Where do the electrons go if you're a eukaryote that lives without oxygen? Help us to explore this question as a PhD student Lund University @Biology_LU! We're looking for someone to join us as part of our #Tango2Lund project funded by the ERC. Check out thelabupstairs.online/open-positions/

Great review! Beautiful paper! Congratulations Algal Evolution Lab

We've just published a comparative genomic analysis of Ascetosporean parasites (Rhizaria). We produced genomic data for two additional classes (Haplosporidia and Paramyxida), and the undescribed Cercozoa M6MM, and combined that to the available mikrocitids bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Check out our new #Ascetosporea genomes ! These marine protist parasites are slowly showing their secrets!

I am advertising a PhD position in human population genetics and ancient DNA analyses of African populations in my group (Uppsala U, Sweden). Please feel free to spread this advert and apply if you are interested! jobb.uu.se/details/?posit…

It is finally here! The coolest book about the cool lichens! Tomorrow I will post my Amazon order!!!!!

My copy of #Lichens a natural history by Robert Lücking & @TobySpribille is here! It is so beautiful and so interesting! A true homage to the wonderful lichens

New Starship preprint is up🚀!biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We take a deep dive into the population dynamics of these giant #transposons by examining over 500 genomes of the human pathogenic #fungus Aspergillus fumigatus

Our article on #terpene #biosynthetic genes in #lichen #genomes is out now! We mined ~100 genomes, identifying & clustering these genes, & found 2 widely distributed terpene clusters #SqualeneSynthases #antiSMASH #BiGSCAPE #Metabolites #phylogenomics doi.org/10.1186/s12864…

Yay!!!! It is finally out! More then 400 #lichenmetagenomes, discovery of lichen specific photosynthetic bacteria (not cyanos!) and lessons on how deep one needs to sequence to obtain the symbiont of interest! What a major work for #lichen research. Congrats Gulnara Tagirdzhanova et al !

JOB ALERT! A fully funded PhD opportunity awaits at Uppsala University, focusing on the evolution and biology of lichen photobionts. 🌍 #PhDposition #biology uu.se/en/about-uu/jo…

Are you interested in joining my group as a #postdoc to explore the diversity of #lichen #photobionts, conduct comparative #genomics, or infer the population structure of symbionts? The Birgitta Sintring Foundation's postdoc stipend call is now open! PM for more information!

Elated to share our newly published paper that describes the potential link between prokaryotic microbiome dynamics and coral heat tolerance 🪸💪🏻🦠🔥 Yezz JB Quijano 🍻 …icro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…

From 1 fungus + 1 algae ....to >150 organisms living in #lichens! Congratulations Gulnara Tagirdzhanova et al. Thank you for including me in this study! cell.com/current-biolog…

The latest issue of the International Lichenological newsletter is out! Take a look at everything that happened last year, including key events, community updates and future developments. Don't miss it! ial-lichenology.org/wp-content/upl… #lichens #LichenEvent #LichenNews

Great initiative to support PhD researchers in Lichenology!
