the forecast seems like >1 week. stay strong!

Top find of the day in Wageningen 🤩

Here we go. First night train as we move to Wageningen, Netherlands! @dancoviello.bsky.social 🐈🐈‍⬛ 🚆

You and your early mornings ☀️

Last Swiss mountain trip a success! @dancoviello.bsky.social

After almost 5 years, we are leaving Zurich🇨🇭for Wageningen 🇳🇱 T-2 weeks! @dancoviello.bsky.social

Seems better to spend time thanking people and institutions that do support you ❤️

Ever since my InfoFlora course last week, I'm spotting neophytes all over Zurich 🌱 Fun, but also not...

Thrilled to see the INVAM fungal collection—and our dedicated curators—featured in the Fall issue of @sierramagazine.bsky.social Preserving the world’s largest library of mycorrhizal fungi to power ecosystem restoration, science, and sustainable ag. 🦠🌱🌍

Great! @invam.bsky.social - this could be interesting!

Do you mean living?

This is only for conserved specimens, not live culture collections, or would those be considered?

What a beautiful exhibit by the Lausanne botanical garden on peat bogs, with some ericaceous plants and even mention of their mycorrhizal fungi! 🍄‍🟫

Huge congratulations to my final @ethz.ch Master's student Linda Muller for completing her thesis! Across three research groups, two cantons, and a lot of bureaucracy, she tested mycorrhizal colonization in three invasive plant species. Spoiler - it is higher in invaded compared to native soils. 🌱🍄

Thank goodness this is off my bookmarked tabs list ✨ but such a great resource!

Seven years later: native AMF inoculation improves grassland successional stage, floristic quality index, and diversity, while suppressing weeds Native mycorrhizal fungi enhance prairie restoration by boosting native plant diversity, supporting late-successional species, and reducing invasive plants

My new paper is out! 🧪🦠

Why microbes matter in restoration 🧵

I am somehow finding myself applying for 4 grants simultaneously. Wish me luck 🌱🍄

Ericoid mycorrhizal growth response is influenced by host plant phylogeny - Mycorrhiza Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi (ErMF) are crucial for the establishment of thousands of ericaceous species in heathlands and wetlands by increasing their tolerance to harsh conditions and improving n...

Check out our paper "Ericoid mycorrhizal growth response is influenced by host plant phylogeny", now out in Mycorrhiza! Led by Alice Neves, a former Master's student in our group. And amazing cross-european collaborations with @ibotcz.bsky.social @wslresearch.bsky.social and several others!

Bever/Schultz lab micro-reunion at ESA! 🤓 @invam.bsky.social

On the role of mutualisms in plant biogeography: consequences for ecology, evolution, and invasion Most plant species world-wide depend on one or more mutualisms – beneficial associations with other species. Evidence is emerging that these biotic mutualisms shape plant biogeography (i.e. distribut....

So excited that my Tansley Insight "On the role of mutualisms in plant biogeography: consequences for ecology, evolution, and invasion" is out today!! @newphyt.bsky.social

Off to @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social in Baltimore, Maryland! Join me at my talk on Wednesday afternoon to see what we have learned about drivers of plant diversification on islands worldwide!

Thanks Europe, for making two week vacations the norm. 🇫🇷

Almost 2 years in the making (plus half a dozen collaborators, just as many student projects, working across other ETH groups, and an ETH career seed grant), but we will soon submit our mesocosm study manipulating plant and ericoid fungal diversity! 🌱🍄 🤓

I always show my students my early drafts.. this is so true!

We are hiring a full time lab technician to assist with several long-term richness/biodiversity/microbe/drought/restoration manupulation experiments at the KU field station. Applications due this week! Please share.

And equally impossible without my family, especially @dancoviello.bsky.social

Terrestrial Ecology The department of Terrestrial Ecology studies species, communities & ecosystems in a rapidly changing world.

I am so excited to share that I will be joining the Terrestrial Ecology Department at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) as a tenure track senior scientist this Fall! Impossible without the unwavering support and mentorship of Jim Bever, Peggy Schutlz, Evan Gora, and Maggie Wagner.

What a great speed visit at @ibotcz.bsky.social!!
