The Lund University press office made a great video about our recent paper on the amazing eyes of alciopid polychaetes!

Dr. Bala Chaudhary Never thought about it before so I enjoyed a lot both the question and answers 🤩! Maybe it is a bit out of the topic: now I start to think if we fertilise a forest in a delicate way (I.e., provide sufficient and balanced nutrients), will we get a non-mycorrhizal forest?🌳

Where do the electrons go if you're a eukaryote that lives without oxygen? Help us to explore this question as a PhD student Lund University Biology, LU! We're looking for someone to join us as part of our #Tango2Lund project funded by the ERC. Check out thelabupstairs.online/open-positions/

Thank you Biology, LU, I had a great time visiting yesterday, thanks for being wonderful hosts! Erik Svensson Anna Runemark Nathalie Feiner

We are now offering a PhD position to explore the mitochondrial biology of anaerobic eukaryotes to understand how their metabolism and organelle function has evolved in adaptation to environments without oxygen.

Last Friday, Mingyue Yuan defended her Biology, LU PhD thesis portal.research.lu.se/en/publication…, elegantly guided by faculty examiner Ciska Veen #celebratingscience #ecologyrulestheplanet

Since #shapeshifting largely recapitulates long-standing biogeographic rules, smaller-trunked or longer-limbed animals are expected to be better heat dissipators. However, observed morphological shifts are small, leading to minuscule within-generation effects (2/5)

We are now offering a full time post doc in an interdisciplinary European Research Council (ERC) funded project towards applications of SERS for soil fungal systems.

Deadline for applications is 7 February.

We are looking for Senior editors to join the Oikos team - are you one of them? Happy to meet up at #BES2023 for a chat about this, Nordic Society Oikos and our journals!

.The Conversation covers our recent research on how feeding birds increases tolerance to infection.

Pleased to announce that this research will continue, thanks to funding from Vetenskapsrådet

To celebrate #worldsoilday2023 we want to launch our very first #soilwatching episode -produced by Fredrik Klinghammer and me in our #soilchips . We hope it brings the world under our feet a bit closer to you:) subscribe, we plan for more:) #WorldSoilDay youtu.be/H-EE-FX_X_A?fe…

I'm looking for a Master student who wants to do a thesis project on the microbiomes of feral horses at Uppsala University Animal Ecology Uppsala. Co-supervisor Carl-Gustaf Thulin #microbiome #horses

I am honoured that my proposal Vetenskapsrådet to study predictability of macroevolution was funded. My lab will start Biology, LU April 2024. Stay tuned for opportunities to join my research on insect wing, deer antler, phenomics, macroevolution, quantitative genetics and more!

Om my way to Louisville and the #TWS2023 . Happy to meet up and talk about publishing in Wildlife Biology or any other of the Nordic Society Oikos journals!

We are now offering a Ph D-position at Biology, LU
suitable for candidates with a background and strong interest in migration ecology and behavior. The project includes field work up to 10 weeks/year.

Please apply before 6 November!
