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.
Check it out here: doi.org/10.1111/pce....

Interested in flower color evolution? Geographic clines which might be due to selection or drift, or both? Check out this work by @katiemaunder.bsky.social and Chris Eckert. Super excited to see how this has developed.

Random and non-random variation in flower color along an urban-rural gradient in the introduced mustard Hesperis matronalis
Premise: Urbanization can alter the interplay of stochastic genetic drift and natural selection but these effects will depend on the biology and history of the species. We investigated the influences ...

next Canadian government should think of boosting research funding up here and trying to grab as many American postdocs and researchers as possible

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...
