Pathogens are often thought to explain conspecific density dependence and variation in plant diversity. But could plant diversity be impacted by mutualistic mycorrhizal fungi?

This paper gives new insights into global diversity patterns: doi.org/10.1038/s42003… Camille Delavaux

Hello Australia

Mycology in force at the Biosystematics 2023 conference!
🍄🐜🌿

Join us in congratulating Tom May, founding member of the AMS, for being awarded the Nancy T. Burbidge medal, which is the highest recognition from Australasian Systematic Botany Society (ASBS) Biosystematics 2023 RBG Victoria

After 4+ years of work, incl. 1.5 years of culturing wasted due non-optimal sequencing/lost shipments, a lot of health crap, and FIVE REFEREES...

This is finally OUT AND PRINTED! 😃
