🎉Happy to share that our paper is published in
@ISMEJournal!

We find that aphid endosymbionts regulate how a plant virus (PEMV) influences plant-aphid interactions to favor disease transmission.

📢Did you know that the #Mediterranean-type biomes of the planet are global biodiversity hotspots?

Our review on the known impacts of global change on plant-#pollinator communities in these ecosystems is online and #OpenAccess.
