I present to you: the (almost) complete European Research Council (ERC) Ecosystem & Landscape Dynamics (ELD) department IBED SHIFTFEEDBACK team (Albert is missing)! We were in the field today at our #drought experiment and here we're enacting a social-distance-team-hug.

Growing the basis of my PhD research 😊 I can still hardly believe that all of this is actually happening! IBED

Most organisms shed DNA in their habitat. This #environmentalDNA can be picked up by new methods and was mainly used for finding elusive species. A new paper by our Dr. Kathryn Stewart💧🧬 shows we can also use #eDNA to study hybridisation among species, giving more insight in #evolution

I love seeing more examples of soil eDNA for macroorganism detection!

Only 10 percent of world’s protected nature areas are connected, threatening biodiversity! New publication by IBED researcher James Allan James Allan in Nature Communications. Read more on our website: ibed.uva.nl/shared/faculte…

Some institutes tell you it’s business as usual, some don’t even acknowledge the crises we’re in. The best institutes send you forget-me-nots and tell you they miss you dearly. Feeling lucky to work with such amazing people! IBED @EpbIbed

I keep meaning to tweet about this collaboration. Nice when someone else does it! These are incredible birds specialising on migratory passerines. Whether or not the migrants become food for falcons is influenced strongly by wind. I learned a lot about from Laura Gangosa!

It's glorious weather for the plant-soil excursion @EpbIbed IBED

Het aanpassingsvermogen van de vleugelslakken is verbazingwekkend. Zeer interessant onderzoek uitgevoerd door @Naturalis_Sci en IBED: nrc.nl/nieuws/2020/09…. Zie hier voor de academische publicatie: pnas.org/content/early/…

And another big experiment for my European Research Council (ERC) project is shaping up! Here, Eileen Enderle will investigate how interactions between plants and microbes determine ecosystem response to #drought

Great to have so many students presenting their work at #NAEM2022 !

On Friday, January 26th, Giuditta Beretta will defend her PhD thesis entitled "Surviving the Greenhouse: Thrips, Biocontrol, Antipredator Behaviours and Plant-mediated Interactions". The ceremony will be held at De Aula in Amsterdam at 11am. Good luck! 🕷️
