My 2nd dissertation chapter is out in Plant, Cell, & Environment!

We use a model legume to assess how plant host genotype and microbes non-additively interact to shape plant growth and disease ecology.

Wonderful opportunity. So excited for where Sophie and our team have taken the Antarctic program.
Apply for a PhD in Antarctic microbial ecology 🦠🇦🇶❄️ with me, @greening.bsky.social and @arcsaef.bsky.social. We're interested in multi-kingdom interactions in terrestrial Antarctica, including mosses 🌱 with @antarcticmoss.bsky.social. Details www.findaphd.com/phds/project.... Please share widely!

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.

Central Taxa Are Keystone Microbes During Early Succession
For decades, microbiome network theory has predicted that highly connected ‘hub’ taxa act as keystone species that disproportionately affect their communities. However, this has never been empiricall...
