@GilbertKadeem from MSU closes the Phyllosphere Symposium 🍃🍁🌳🌱 Kadeem argues that🍃phylloplane pH varies across plant species and it could be an adaptive trait of the plants, allowing them to influence their associations with microbes. #CSEE2025 @CSEE_SCEEmtgs @CSEE_SCEE

I had a great time birding at the @KBSLTER for the Kellogg Birding Buddies! With @EcoNasser @nickmhaddad @GilbertKadeem and others!
Seven people smiling and carrying binoculars before birding. They are in front of the KBS LTER site. Behind them are prairie strips and corn/soy rotations.

Not all translucent galls are acidic. 🤷‍♂️ I tested the gall of Neuroterus quercusbaccarum and its pH is 5. I lost my bet that it could be another acid gall. #gall #gallwasp
