Dark Taxon Science: In a tale of two realities, we here try to foster an epoch of biodiversity enlightenment while being threatened by the shadows of mass extinction: megabarcoding shows that two dark taxa in the Baihua Mountains behave very differently! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Just out The Royal Society special issue: Measuring state of aquatic environments using #eDNA .

So happy to be part of this year's SILcongress! Great start yesterday, already excited today when I will present for the very first time my work within Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership) #IMPACT ! If you happen to be around, come see my talk @ 9h45 in Salão Scendere 03 - hope to see you there! 🤩🤓

Ein Standpunkt von mir zu #RestoreNature im Tagesspiegel. background.tagesspiegel.de/agrar-ernaehru…

Wir freuen uns sehr, Prof. Dr. Ralf B. Schäfer an der #UDE und am Research Center One Health Ruhr Universitätsallianz begrüßen zu dürfen! Mit seiner Expertise wird er die Spitzenforschung der UDE im Bereich der #Wasserforschung stärken. Zentrum für Wasser- und Umweltforschung uni-due.de/2024-04-29-ral…

Time to say farewell to Till Macher
A big THANK YOU for 9️⃣ wonderful & scientifically very creative & productive years Uni Duisburg-Essen @unidue.bsky.social - with focus on #eDNA #metabarcoding
Enjoy the new endeavors Universität Trier in the #KrehenwinkelLab & always welcome here. #Biodiversity #Monitoring

What drives community development after stream restoration? Led by Svenja Gillmann, we show that initially dispersal is key, and with time since restoration the role of competition increases. Key paper for CRC RESIST 1439. doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

Plenary speakers list complete!
Arne Beermann from Florian Leese @leeselab.bsky.social, an expert on DNA-based identification and integrated taxonomy joined #CESAMIR2024 !. Check aquabol.sk/cesamir2020/for more info.

There is still a week left to apply for this fully funded (for home and international students) PhD with me at University of Oxford on multiple stressors in wetlands. Come join our lab! #ecology #phdlife #biology

Are you a postdoc or senior limnologist? Are you coming to the AIL Limnología congress in #Vigo next June? Could you share your experience with young researchers?
Then we need you as a mentor in the new AIL #MentoringGroup .... More info: drive.google.com/file/d/155n0XF…

Guess what project is featured on one of the best radio shows? Enjoyed sharing the work of our global #eDNA project. Tune in around the end of the show 3:30 EST today!

How do outdoor mesocosm experiments help in investigating stream microbiomes? That’s the question I will tackle in my talk tomorrow Front Range Microbiome Symposium! Will be one highlight of my research stay The Wrighton Lab and I am looking forward to a day of microbiome research! 🧬🏞️ CRC RESIST 1439

Environmental DNA: The next chapter

🧬🔬🐟🧬🦠🧬🦋🧬

Molecular tools, incl. #eDNA , have become an indispensable part of #ecology & #biodiversity sciences.

What is needed to concretely move the field forward?

Wrapping up #BiodivMon Tallinn . That's it for this kick-off! 🙌
🙏 A big thank you to everyone who participated and followed us over these two days. We look forward to seeing the development of each #BiodivMon project!

#IMPACT is breaking down barriers for integrating parasites in aquatic biodiversity monitoring and governance!
#BiodivMonTallinn

Panel with #HiRAD , #SEAGHOSTS , #TABMON , #DESTRESS , #DNAquaIMG , #IMPACT , @MoSTFun, #SubBioMon , & #TRANSPONDER .
Discussions about integrating old and data newly obtained through new technologies, stakeholders involvement, and more!
