Can evolution to stress dictate their ability to use new resources in complex #microbiome communities? @scheuerlthomas, @TimBarraclough9 and I had some thoughts on this. .

We assembled a manuscript with conceptual ideas how bacteria evolve in complex communities. It is a continuation of our Community-Evolution study (Scheuerl et al. 2020, Nature Communication). If you are interested, please find the MS on EcoEvoRxiv DOI:

Finally we took a secondary data set and randomly sampled the #microbiome. We found a clear negative association with more of these species present the worse lung function! These results give renewed importance to understanding the #ecology of the microbiome. 4/4

With co-occurrence of species a better predictor of worsening lung function, we identified 22 taxa (inc. #pseudomonas, #staphyloccus) with significant negative associations on lung function when both are present in the infection! 3/4

How do species interactions impact #cysticfibrosis-associated respiratory infections? More than the presence/absence of particular species! Using data generated by @CFTrust funded research over the past 5 years, we looked co-occurrences in the #microbiome of 315 samples. 2/4.

Incredible #Ecopedagogies day at UoM thinking of new links between teaching and the environment with some amazing individuals across Arts and Humanities. Oh and I got to show them some amazing #microbiology of #moss at the same time!

Today is day one of my @MMU_NATSCI MRes student's #bryophyte experiment! How does microbial ecology work in these #tinyworlds? That's what we're going to find out! 😁
