This year we celebrate 150 years of the discovery of fungus-farming ants 🐜🍄 Thomas Belt and Fritz Müller's simultaneous discoveries were communicated in @Nature by Wallace and Darwin (resp). Likewise, we remember their work in a Letter to the Editor. nature.com/articles/d4158…

🐜🍄 Excited to share our new research in @MBEjournal! We present a highly contiguous genome of the leafcutter ant fungal cultivar Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, revealing insights into the evolutionary history of domestication in this ant-fungus symbiosis! doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

Jeg er meget beæret over at være portrætteret som Månedens Forsker af @Carlsbergfondet og deres dygtige team. lnkd.in/gWa9gCqC

🎙️Podcast: Svampe lever i symbiotisk relation med deres omgivelser. De kan eksempelvis både bekæmpe skadedyr i deres miljø og inficere de planter og afgrøder, som de interagerer med. Hør #MånedensForsker Henrik H. de Fine Licht 👉bit.ly/podcast_licht#… @KU_PLEN @koebenhavns_uni

🔬 Excited to share our latest paper! We've discovered that autophagy plays a pivotal role in the formation of reward structures (gongylidia) in L. gongylophorus fungus, benefiting their leafcutter ant farmers. 🐜🍄 #ScienceTwitter #Ants #Fungi imafungus.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Osedax bone eating worms are covered in a dense blanket of epibionts with unique genomes that undergo a successional shift as the whale carcass degrades. Are they serving a protective function? Find out more in our new paper in @mbiojournal 🪱🦠 go Balig! doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0…

I was excited to visit @JonathanShik and his fungi and ants at the University of Copenhagen today and give a talk about #fungalbehaviour for their unit. Lots of good questions, discussions and cute ants!


I'm thrilled to advertise a postdoctoral position using advanced imaging approaches to explore how nutrients flow through of the symbiotic fungus of leafcutter ants. 🐜🍃🔬 Come join my group at #UCPH in #Copenhagen! #carlsbergfondet tinyurl.com/4w7b66mn

And another! PhD opportunity @CUBiosciences to work with me, the amazing Dr Jo Lello and @red_termite on the interplay between thermal tolerance and parasitism in ants. Hugely important Qs in light of climate change and global pandemics... Ad: findaphd.com/phds/project/s…

Don’t miss a great opportunity to join my colleague Nina at the University of Copenhagen for a PhD in phage-host interactions!

Thanks @phagedirectory for sharing. Interested in manipulating phage-host interactions? 3y fully funded PhD position in beautiful Copenhagen. Apply by September 18th.

First paper of Birte Peter's PhD out! Based on pollen metabarcoding and chemical analyses it shows how intensified land-use of grasslands reduces trap nesting bee species diversity until only the incredibly flexible generalist Osmia bicornis is left: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…
