Saccharomyces yeasts are emerging as model organisms for ecology and evolution, and
researchers need environmental Saccharomyces isolates to test ecological and evolutionary
hypotheses. However, methods for isolating Saccharomyces from nature have not been
standardized, and isolation methods may influence the genotypes and phenotypes of
studied strains. We compared the effectiveness and potential biases of an established
