Powerpoint presentation slide for a talk titled "Hidden players in evolution: the impact of fungal endophytes on niche breadth and diversification across Poa (bluegrass)". Contains an image of a grass with a microscope image of an endophyte present in a grass seed.
Come check out my talk at #ESA2025 today! I'll be chatting about some of my Postdoc research on mutualisms and how they impact niche breadth and diversification in the Eco-Evolutionary processes session in BCC344 at 1:45pm!

My dissertation chapter is in Ecology Letters!
We tested microbiome network theory empirically in nature and found central early colonisers significantly (1) enhanced biodiversity, (2) reshaped assembly trajectories and (3) increased recruitment of non-peripheral microbes.
