Equity in science is a beautiful lie β€” and I’m done pretending Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.

Invasive ectomycorrhizal fungi species do not grow better in culture than non-invasive species without their hosts - Symbiosis Progress has been made in describing invasion patterns of invasive ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF), yet their ecological characteristics and implications remain poorly understood. Invasive EMF are able to...

New paper!
I'm particularly excited about it
We know very little about mycorrhizal fungi invasions, and our idea was that the few that could do free living, would be better at invading
As often happens in science, we were wrong & learned a lot:)

How did North American and European fungi end up in Argentine forests?

New research in @newphyt.bsky.social from UE @nahpo.bsky.social and @martin-nunez.bsky.social looks underground at how non-native tree species and their fungal partners have spread.

New paper!
I am excited about it, since it has some very cool contributions on:
-Status of Invasive ectomycorrhizal fungi
-Definition of what is a invasive mycorhizal πŸ„
-Cool picture of trees being brought from Europe in 1920!

What’s happening beneath Patagonia’s changing landscape?

The Patagonian drylands’ native willows are being pushed out by invasive non-native onesβ€”but how do #fungi fit into this story?
