Marine forests e.g. coral reefs, seaweed banks and seagrass meadows are biodiverse ecosystems, essential for a healthy ocean. However, they are disappearing at unprecedented rates. RESTORESEAS aims at improving marine forests' restoration in the Atlantic coasts. #marineforests

Very pleased to be able to say that this comprehensive (and surprising!) metabarcoding survey of Phytophthora communities in British plant nurseries is now in print at bsppjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... This was the work of a large consortium led by Sarah Green at Forest Research.

There are some discussions about critical situation in taxonomy - very few specialists for some groups of organisms, and none for some others. Sadly, the situation will continue to worsen. Particular causes - current funding policies in science + existing publishing bias. Some details below:

Sad news. John McDowell has passed away. He was not only a brilliant scientist, he was one of the kindest people I have ever met. He worked hard, did a tremendous job in plant pathology and was a wonderful colleague. He is gone way too soon. www.mccoyfuneralhome.com/obituaries/J...

Can a resistance gene from one crop protect another from the same pathogen? This generally only works if the crops are closely related. Now, Du et al. show a pepper 🌶 resistance gene can work in rice 🌾, so long as you deliver some associated genes! #plantimmunity www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A good read, and it makes me wonder about alternatives to simply “papers” as a metric. How can we build a publishing/academic system that selects for robust progress in a field?

During the first year of our BIOPARQUE we have achieved our first objective. We wanted to find out if humans are vectors of forest pathogens and therefore, whether forest soils with more human activity in recreational areas are acting as reservoirs of putative forest pathogens.
