Does the Pacific Koel intentionally attempt to wake up toddlers before sunrise when you’ve finally got the baby to sleep?

Our little family got bigger.
A happy big sister, and happy—but tired and a bit stressed – dad and papa.

Tartu! I forgot how beautiful a city it is.
In Singapore on my way to Tartu-Estonia, for the @newphyt.bsky.social symposium - Microbes as hidden or prominent players in plant life.
It’s been 6 years since my last visit. Looking forward to the symposium, seeing some familiar & new faces.
I’m talking about AM fungi in Australia, of course.

What if plants could pick their own fungal protectors?! ⚔️🌱
We're looking for a PhD student for a unique dual award PhD. Based at Western Sydney Uni & spend 12-18 months at University of Sheffield.
You will work with me and with Profs Katie Field, Scott Johnson, Jeff Powell, and Jurriaan Tonn.

I can’t remember the last time I saw the snow. Barely anything by Finnish standards, but cool! 😎 ❄️

New paper out:
Do plants select their mycorrhizal fungi based on their ability to enhance defence? Or is it all about the carbon?
Does defence have a role in the assembly of AM fungi?
We present some hypotheses in ISME J

Insect herbivory might exacerbate competition between AM fungi, leading to communities comprised of distantly related species - which provide more P overall!
