Can sound change the way #fungi grow? 🎵 🍄
Our new open-access paper led by the wonderful Amy Annells is now out in Trends in Biotechnology: 'Acoustic modulation of fungal friends and foes.'

A new era of sound-driven fungal science?

(i.e., human-induced) – contributed to increased hantavirus infection rates among rodent hosts... So, we also need to be careful not to blame wildlife.... it "keeps solutions buried in a grave of misconception".

- every spillover event gives viruses evolutionary opportunities;
- dense global travel networks can amplify even weakly transmissible pathogens;
- unusual clusters can sometimes signal ecological or epidemiological shifts.
And the situation highlights vital points:

land-use change, and ecosystem disruption shape disease dynamics, and what we need to do about it.
One fascinating example comes from #hantavirus research in Sweden, where declines in predators such as Tengmalm’s owls – linked to logging of old-growth forests

infectious disease risks are increasing in frequency & diversity, and they are deeply intertwined with ecology, human behaviour, land use, and the ways we reshape and live within the natural world.
In #TheNatureOfPandemics, I explore how biodiversity loss, human behaviour,
