Marta Tischer

I am hiring 2 postdocs to work on parasitic and endosymbiotic fungi associated with Hemiptera insects! Ideal candidates will have experience working with symbionts, dissecting insects, meta/phylogenomics and confocal/FISH techniques (or some of these). Info below. Please RT.

As part of FunDive, a Europe-wide collab project targeting understudied fungi, we’re looking for more data on Hesperomyces, a parasite on ladybirds – and you can help! I made a video together with @INBOVlaanderen explaining everything you need to know. youtube.com/watch?v=HXfhY0…

Call for Papers: Genomics in Symbiosis We are excited to invite you to contribute to the special collection of #BMC Genomics: Genomics in Symbiosis. We welcome manuscripts that explore the genomics of symbiotic interactions across all domains of life! #main-content" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">biomedcentral.com/collections/go…

Just published! A new fossil fungus from the Jurassic @Lepidodendron

ZOOLOGY JOB ALERT!🚨🪱 Are you interested in microscopic worms, asexual reproduction, or EvoDevo? We are hiring a post-doc (18 months) in our newly established group @IBE_Warszawa @BiolUW funded by @NAWAPoland Apply by 15.12.24 More details here: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/283654

It's an honor and we hope to be as great as our predecessors!

@AGesiorska @UUBeta @KU_PLEN Congratulations Ola! All the best for your PhD journey!

Thrilled to share that I've completed my Master’s at @UUBeta ! 🎓 and, to finally announce that as of October I will start my doctoral studies at @KU_PLEN 🌱 super grateful for all the support I got on the way and excited for what lies ahead! #graduation #MSc

Check out the latest #planthopper tree based on genomic data! #phylogenomics #Auchenorrhyncha #Hemiptera doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… Great collaboration with colleagues in different fields! @jacek_szwedo @symPiotr @LepPhylo @hamid_hrg @EtkaYapar @diecasfranco @AnnaMichalik17

Check out our (with @MartaTischer ) new paper on Wolbachia infections in soil arthropods. We find a lower infection frequency compared to other ecosystems, but higher supergroup diversity @uniGoettingen doi.org/10.1016/j.meeg…

Last weekend, the #Mycology crew from IBE, OBUW & PAN Institutes of #Zoology, #Biochemistry & #Biophysics enjoyed the MycoRise Up student conference! Congratulations to Olsza Borys & Benjamin Abranczyk for your oral presentation awards & to Amelia Ploch for your poster award! 🥳

Some photos from our Arthropod-Fungal Associations #workshop ! Great talks and amazing people 🍀#entomophthorales #hypocreales #teamlaboul

Super-amazing work by Takanori Nishino, Hiromi Mukai, Minoru Moriyama and other colleagues on a novel insect-microbe symbiosis is now available as preprint Defensive fungal symbiosis on insect hindlegs biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Leafhoppers are known to transmit serious diseases to a variety of crops worldwide. However, very little about the diversity of fungal parasites associated with them. Here we see one e.g., that once infecting the insect, it covers a large part of the leaf, increasing transmission

@BugBoyDawid Amazing!

I managed to find some more Trachypauropus britannicus today in the usual woodland, and got a few good focus stacks when I photographed them at home. #macrophotography #ukbiodiversity #pauropod #myriapoda

Today a paper from a very nice collaboration with Charlotte Hopfe @unibt was published in @CurrentBiology: Impact of environmental factors on spider silk properties. @UGoe_AEB @uniGoettingen Free access under: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We have described new fungal species (and genus) Formicomyces microglobosus from infrabuccal pellets of Formica polyctena ants! It is a representative of Trichomeriaceae, in which many strains have already been ant-isolated! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
