Nature Microbiology, Published online: 01 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02366-8The scientific information ecosystem is dysbiotic, but the conditions for ecological succession towards a more diverse, inclusive and resilient ‘infobiome’ are present. Scientists, institutions and platform builders should act together.

First PhD paper out on @consletters.bsky.social 🎉
We identified 8 potential EDGE fungal species, a conservation metric so far not available for fungi. This study also revealed a large number of Data Deficient species, highlighting the need for more mycological research.

From galaxies far, far away 🚀 to taxonomy on Earth, the #StarWars universe has left its mark on occurrence records in GBIF.
Take a look at some species names that are inspired by Star Wars in GBIF 🌠

Thank you @spun.earth for highlighting our work!
This is also @susanapcunha.bsky.social first PhD paper! 🎉🎉 Steve Bachman, Eimear Nic Lughadha @rbgkew.bsky.social and I are proud supervisors 😊
Glad it found its home in @consletters.bsky.social!

Investigação liderada por cientistas portuguesas identifica fungos sem parentes próximos na árvore da vida, muitos sem dados suficientes para sabermos se já estão à beira da extinção.

Investigação liderada por cientistas portuguesas identifica fungos sem parentes próximos na árvore da vida, muitos sem dados suficientes para sabermos se já estão à beira da extinção.
For 56 of the 94 fungal species assessed in this study, there's still insufficient data to reliably evaluate extinction risk.
A reminder of how much fungal diversity remains understudied, and how urgently better knowledge is needed for conservation.

On David Attenborough’s 100th birthday 🎂 🎉, I recall the 2019 Red List workshop in the building named after him in Cambridge, UK, that inspired me to launch MyCoLAB. From 91 to 195 Red List fungal assessments in one week — and 1,302 today. Thank you for the inspiration, Sir David ❤️
Inspired Yoda’s look, the tarsier did. 🌌
This #StarWarsDay, let's remember that even the galaxy’s most iconic figures have roots in Earth’s biodiversity. IPBES science shows nature’s health is the force binding all life together.
To ignore the evidence, unwise it is. 🌍✨ #MayThe4thBeWithYou

Come work with me at the Department of Soil Biology in Hohenheim, Postdoc position for three years. I am looking for someone who will support my current line of research and help establish novel methods of molecular soil ecology in the lab. Thanks for sharing.
