Closely related microbes tend to live in similar communities across Earth’s environments.
We call this pattern community conservatism - extending established ecological patterns to the microbial world.

New paper out in ISME journal! 🪲🌲
With our Czech colleagues, we show how host, bacteria and fungi cooperate to drive nutrient acquisition and metabolism in the European spruce bark beetle holobiont.

Microbes can store “memories” by collectively altering their environment. These externalized “memories” impact how microbial communities assemble.

🌍🌱📈 Taxonomic revisions affect plant biodiversity quantification and conservation strategies. Great thread!

A lesson we should closely follow in 🦠🧫 #MicrobialEcology, where OTUs, ASVs, MAGs and Bins are interchangeably used.

Taxonomy is under constant change; species classification is revised continuously, and changes accumulate affecting biodiversity metrics & generating uncertainty that is rarely assessed.

Although taxonomy is an evolving discipline, taxonomic change is rarely accounted for in macroecological studies. By tracking the history of species descriptions and synonymizations of Amazonian palms...
