Fungus pockets! Our review chapter on ambrosia beetle mycangia, the amazing organs these fungus farmers use to store and carry living spores of their fungal food, is just out (Open Access) at MIT Press. #fungi #symbiosis #ambrosiabeetles direct.mit.edu/books/oa-edit…

Our latest paper is out!: We tested a push-pull strategy using verbenone to repel (push) and ethanol to attract (pull) invasive ambrosia beetles in apple orchards. Results show verbenone alone can reduce beetle migration into orchards when populations are comparatively low but the pull is likely necessary for large populations-- the masterful @kelseytobin_ led this multi-state study which includes NY, PA, OH!

I’m on the market! 🎉
What do I do?
-I develop research questions and applied biotechnology to understand and disrupt insect symbioses.
-I coordinate international teams to tackle interdisciplinary global challenges.
-I train mycologists, entomologists and insect pathologists.

Really cool stuff - injection of bacteria directly into fungal hyphae reveals insights into fungal-bacterial symbioses
We found a way to implant bacteria 🦠 in fungi 🍄and used it to induce artificial endosymbiosis. Read all about it in our newest research paper @Nature .

What determines transfer of carbon from plants to mycorrhizal fungi? For the past 2 years, we debated this question. And I mean debated. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/… #TansleyReview @NewPhyt 1/n

NEW Publication!!😄
Phylogenomic analysis of Opisthokonta (#animals, #fungi, & relatives) reveals a largely robust #phylogeny, but uncovers orthology inference methods as a major contributor of #incongruence. This study provides a robust framework for studying the #Opisthokonts

NEW Publication (& I'm last author!)😊
We discuss #phylogenomic methods🌲 for leveraging reticulate #evolution🧬 to elucidate the timing of evolutionary events⏱️, like disentangling #introgression from ILS
So happy to see my fantastic mentee @SaelinBjornson get this work out!
