Not sure! but did took it out for 🧬 sequencing 👩‍🔬

And if you're wondering why I'm not replying to your emails - it's due to crashed system servers at the institute, we completely lost access not only to emails but also on-site internet! 🫣 #summer

Another field trip this week for #CoccoChannel! 🌊 We headed to the Krka River estuary to sample the halocline using a horizontal water sampler. The microbial life was buzzing #protistsonsky! 🦠 This one was caught extending its pseudopodia to feed on bacteria. Nature’s lunch at its finest!

Biologist folk (especially in evolutionary biology and/or ecology, but it don’t matter):

Can you give me your favorite examples of trade offs in biology? Organism or system don’t matter. Primary literature or reviews preferred.

Soooo beautiful... almost like dandelions 🪩

Those diatoms are such a nuisance, had a similar problem on my coccolith hunt! And....I almost forgot about it .... 😉

Frontiers | Cooperation and Conflict Within the Microbiota and Their Effects On Animal Hosts Symbioses between animals and microbes are ubiquitous, and often have drastic fitness effects on both parties. A rapidly growing body of research now shows t...

Over time, bacteria that live together begin to reach a level of tolerance for each other (unlike certain Manhattan residents).

But sometimes a new invader, like a bacteriophage (virus of bacteria), applies new selective pressure that kicks off a new conflict.

Greetings! Is anyone interested in working on coccolithophore microbiome and writing a MSCA-PF shorturl.at/p49t3? Reach out for a chat 💬 and more info! Croatia is part of ERA and also has national funds for MSCA-PFs --> triple chance of getting it! 🫣 #protistsonsky
