The Ohio Mushroom DNA Lab is offering free DNA barcoding for any wild collected fungus, found anywhere in the world.

They need to be dried and packaged in ziplock snack sized bags, labeled with the iNaturalist observation #

SO excited to finally share this news! The Clean Swell® app has been used to record cleanup data for decades with the #InternationalCoastalCleanup and now groups in the #InternationalTrashTrapNetwork can feed their data straight into this global database.

We found an ancient (13,000 years was our estimate) oak clone. Now they want to develop the land. Argh.

Thrilled to share our latest paper out in @Ecology_Letters!

We show that mutualisms impact trait evolution BEYOND the traits involved in the interaction.

Specialised mutualisms tend to stabilise traits, while generalist mutualisms favour change.

I just have to share that I'm giddy with excitement because I'm organizing "thinking series" (free!) webinar on Critical Concepts on Microbial Dormancy with @mSystemsJ and the speaker line up is FAN-TAS-TIC!

stay tuned! You aren't going to want to miss this!

New work led by Zoë Humphries and @bmsacchi: When things are bad they get even worse! We assembled and characterized the rapid genome evolution and extensive degeneration in young Y chromosomes that arose in a repetitive region of low recombination https://t.co/eVh68tJ5Ry

For the first time ever, I am formally appealing a grant rejection from @NSERC_CRSNG. They declined my grant on an absurd technicality that honestly I would never have expected from @NSERC_CRSNG, a funding agency I respect and have worked hard for 1/n

@PetrovADmitri I've never managed a definition satisfactory to myself and others. I'm starting to think that no definition of stress transfers across individuals and environments (and reviewers)...I'll be curious to see what accumulates here.

[Katherine Corn, PhD @damalichthys]
