Why do different mammals host different gut bacteria? Limited bacterial transmission between species might be key #phylosymbiosis #gut microbiota evolution #specificity ➡️ buff.ly/3I2uM6o

PhD opportunities to join our lab! IMPRS is a great graduate school. Check it out! Deadline for applications: May 15th - contact us if interested 😉

I'm hiring a 2-year postdoc to work on modelling island extinctions in the context of interspecific interactions employment.ku.dk/faculty/?show=… . Good working conditions, great environment, important questions.

What is the role of the microbiome in the evolution of _the host_? Our new special issue at Phil Trans B explores this question in various systems and perspectives: royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/2020/… Thanks to co-editors @orenkolodny and Angela Douglas #NCStateMicrobiome

Co-evolution & Co-speciation of Host-Gut #Bacteria: @mgroussi @FloMazel @ejalm argue co-diversification of #gutbacteria w/ host is indirect consequence of mammalian speciation via geographic isolation, limiting inter-host bacterial dispersal & gene flow cell.com/cell-host-micr…

No need to invoke co-evolution to explain co-speciations/co-phylogenies in host-gut microbiome systems @cellhostmicrobe with @mgroussi & @ejalm doi.org/10.1016/j.chom…

Our new Perspective paper @cellhostmicrobe with @FloMazel & @ejalm is out! We give our take on how cospeciation between gut bacteria and mammals can emerge 1/4 cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Despite being closely related and harboring similar 16S rRNA phylotypes, European and Asian honey bees show striking differences in strain-level diversity in their microbiota. Congrats to @KirstenEllegaa1 Shota Suenami Ryo Miyazaki! @CurrentBiology doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Are you looking for a postdoc in Spatial Modelling of Species and Biodiversity? Join our group in Lausanne unil.ch/ecospat/en/hom… ! @FGSE_UNIL @unil @DEE_UNIL Up to 3 years of funding, start Fall 2020. Deadline to apply June 30th ! More info: career5.successfactors.eu/career?company…

@LecaRenaud whoa! imprimée en 3D?

@SagittariusHH "La tyrannie de la p-value" peut - en théorie- se défendre. Biological significance Vs. Statistical significance (e.g. nature.com/articles/d4158…)

Ceci n'est pas un Fake...

Both, the Biodiversity Research Seminar series (BRS) and the Biodiversity Discussion group (BDG) @ZoologyUBC @UBCBiodiversity are now cancelled for the rest of this academic year.

I've just cancelled all social events and seminars in my department, even though this is not the university's advice. By the time we know we should act, it's too late... #COVID19 #FlattenTheCurve #WashYourHands #BeKind

@kdillmcfarland tasted differently?

Pleased to share this video, ft. @Emma6eorge, about our new paper in @CurrentBiology! We find highly specialized bacteria with tiny genomes residing within diplonemids - a group of marine heterotrophic protists. @pjkeelinglab @UBCBiodiversity #symbiosis #microbiology #genomics

I offer a fully funded PhD position on macroecology and biodiversity change across scales. Czech University of Life Sciences, Prague. 1000 EUR/month net, new team, international dpt, beautiful Prague. Deadline is 15 March, starting October 2020. Details: petrkeil.github.io/website//posit…

@sarahmhird @DarienCapunitan @enicurus @henicorhina Super cool work! Congrats. Might be interesting to test bounded BM too (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26865274) as it produces similar trait distribution to OU with one optima, but has a radically different interpretation

Excited to share our latest work! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… Shotgun metagenomics reveals that the gut microbiota of two closely related honey bee species vastly differs at the strain-level. A. mellifera harbors many more strains & functional genes in its microbiota than A. cerana!
