It’s reached that time of year again where I gently suggest you hang on to your manuscripts and submit them early in 2026. Otherwise they’re likely to just sit on a virtual to do list for the next 3 weeks sending auto-reminders to editors/reviewers. 🎄

🚨ALERT🚨 In our new paper, published in Microbiome, we show how host-mediated selection can produce microbiomes that enhance plant fitness under salt stress by up to ~198%. We explore the mechanisms behind these benefits and how our protocol shaped microbial community structure.

Oi, stickleback researchers!
One of my PhD students is on a quest for lateral-view photographs of sticklebacks (like the one below, obvs not a stickleback). Any population/species, so long as the location and date of collection are known.
Does anyone know where we might find data like this?
