Synthesis of recovery patterns in microbial communities across environments dlvr.it/T6X95X

Every problem passes through three stages. First, deny the accuracy of the conception; Second, deny the importance; Finally, deny the novelty as it becomes self-evident.

New paper in Nature Communications demonstrates that land conversion to agriculture induces taxonomic homogenization of soil microbial communities globally.

Based on 2400 samples across six continents.

Nitrogen-fixing organelle in a marine alga | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A nitrogen-fixing organelle, or “nitroplast,” has been identified in a marine alga. This discovery sheds light on the evolutionary transition from endosymbiont to organelle.

Very happy about this work despite it puts foward eco-evolutionary consequences of agriculture amendments on soil microorganisms
