Really enjoyed watching this paper unfold. The idea that selection operates at multiple levels is fascinating, controversial and difficult to test. But not untestable nor untested. César and colleagues show this well!
When the US govt terminated the National Nature Asst, @phillevin.bsky.social + the author team were determined not to let that stop them.
They re-organized, set up an advisory committee, found funding…and now the brand new Nature Record is open for public comment. 👏🌳👏🌲

After a bit of a hiatus, Funga's speaker series is back, and we are so excited to be starting with The Nature Conservancy’s Lead Reforestation Scientist, Dr. Susan Cook-Patton!
Who lives underground?
Find out now in our new paper published in @nature.com.
Key finding: 90% of predicted mycorrhizal biodiversity hotspots lie outside protected areas.

Furthermore, while we do our best to change global co2 levels we only have so much control. There’s the potential to completely change soil microbial communities in a given location.
Really happy to see this one live. The microbes matter a lot. Microbial composition explains more variation in productivity than a massive global change factor like co2 fertilization.
Really excited to host Dr. Susan Cook-Patton tomorrow. Susan is one of the top scientific voices on natural climate solutions, continuously pushing new analyses that help us understand the potential of natural climate solutions, as well as their limitations.
This webinar is free and open to all!
People are still out there describing new species of fungi from mushroom specimens and I am absolutely here for it. Congratualtions Adriana Corrales and colleagues!
