Habitat degradation is a lead cause of biodiversity erosion around the globe. But how does it affect the microbial community associated with species leaving in degraded habitats? We investigate this point in our latest preprint. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Species-associated bacterial diversity increases along a gradient of habitat degradation

Alterations of microbial communities have evident impacts on development, digestion, fecundity, metabolism, immunity, and diverse other biological functions of their hosts. Yet, the factors affecting...

Phylogenomics approach on geometrid moths solves the long-standing problem on Orthostixinae lineage! @leimurillo87 leading wonderful work that offers new insights on the origins of this megadiverse lineage @luomus @lepPhylo @VTwort @pasi_sihvonen
Leidys Murillo-Ramos@leimurillo8711 May 2023
Are you interested in geometrid moths? I am happy to share our latest phylogenomic study. With thousand genes from whole genome assemblies, we provide new classifications and some thoughts on the deepest relationships. resjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Big @batsgoviral week! In @PNASNews and @ScienceAdvances we test how to prevent zoonotic #spillover by interrupting virus transmission in bat reservoirs. Short story: culls didn’t reduce spillover but altered rabies spatial spread; transmissible vaccines may be a solution. A 🧵.

Lepakoita vaivaava valkokuonosyndrooma on eräs aikamme tuhoisimmista eläintaudeista. @annasofia_b havaitsi väitöstutkimuksessaan, että Euroopassa yleinen lepakkolaji on tolerantti taudille. Suomessa tautia ei tavattu lepakoilla lainkaan. #väitös #biologia utu.fi/fi/ajankohtaista/vait…
