📉Despite the hype, protein language models trained across the “protein universe” are outperformed by even the simplest, site-independent alignment-based model.

The new paper published in @nature.com reveals that 90% of mycorrhizal fungal biodiversity hotspots lie outside protected areas.

"Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal hotspots and global protected areas: Predicted richness and endemism hotspots (95th percentile of predictions) for AM fungi. Coloured areas on the map show richness hotspots (green), rarity hotspots (purple) and the overlap of richness and rarity hotspots (yellow). Black areas indicate non-hotspots. Bar graphs show the total hotspot size and percentage overlap with protected areas by biome, and grey bars reflect different IUCN management categories (I, most strictly preserved habitats; NA, unassigned category). The dashed line at 30% hotspot area protected reflects the ambitions of 30 × 30 target goals under the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. ND, no data." -- Source: Nature | ISSN 1476-4687 (online). Van Nuland, M.E., Averill, C., Stewart, J.D. et al. Global hotspots of mycorrhizal fungal richness are poorly protected. Nature (2025).
