Nature Ecology & Evolution
This journal is interested in the full spectrum of ecological and evolutionary biology, encompassing approaches at the molecular, organismal, population, community and ecosystem levels, as well as relevant parts of the social sciences.
Truffle Hunting, Genome Sequencing & Gastronomic Delicacies
To gain insight into the evolution of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, as well as truffle lifestyle, within the Pezizomycetes, we sequenced symbiotic truffle-forming species and compared their genomes to saprotrophic fungal species.
When mammalian tooth heights predict a savanna, but plant fossils don’t
The reconstruction of ancient environments depends on proxies from earth and climate science combined with animal and plant fossils. No single proxy will tell the whole story. Or so you’d think.
Mendel meets Tilman – a most daring genetic mapping project
In our recent paper, my co-author Pascal Niklaus and I describe a journey to the genetic roots of poorly understood ecological phenomena.
A global test of ecoregions: Behind the paper
I believe that, by and large, we can break research projects into two main groups.
