Biological markets and more .... a personal site

What's new?

21 FEB 2024: Added yet another reference to the underground nutrient trade page: Bragazzi, Woldegerima & Siri (2024). Economic microbiology: Exploring microbes as agents in economic systems. Frontiers in Microbiology, 15. The scope of this paper is much wider than underground trading alone, but contains an interesting section on "Microbial communities as biological markets and microbes as economic agents"

2 FEB 2024: Added a reference to Weber, Bascompte, Kahmen & Niklaus (2024). Plant choice between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species results in increased plant P acquisition. PLOS ONE, 19(1), e0292811 to a page I neglected a bit lately: underground nutrient trade
