In AquaBioSens, @IMBB_FORTH is developing molecular methods to quantify aquatic #microalgae toxins on-site, eliminating the need for lab analysis. This will enable frequent monitoring, rapid results, and real-time warnings, protecting aquaculture and public health from toxins.🌍

Very proud to share the first paper from my PhD! 🥳 We review approaches for enhancing ecological assessments through environmental DNA (#eDNA) / eRNA surveys of microorganisms, host-symbiont units (holobionts) and biodiversity across the tree of life 🦠🦊🌳🦆🧬🦀

Diatom assemblages in river biofilm samples remain stable after being stored for up to three years, supporting their use in long-term ecological studies. 🔗 Read more: doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.8… #metabarcoding

Climate-related risks are higher for #globalwarming of 1.5°C. 🦒 3 to 14% of the tens of thousands of species assessed will likely face a very high risk of extinction at a global warming level of 1.5°C. More on the risk of species losses beyond 1.5°C ➡️ bit.ly/SRYRpt23

Switzerland's currently highest #lake (3259 m asl) has formed due to #glacier retreat over the last decade. It is now >200m long and is bounded by an ice wall. Cool 🥶 swimming for 🔥 summer days! More high-elevation lakes are expected to appear soon in a warmer climate though.

It includes our (DEEM team Orsay ) work on hypersaline ecosystems in the Danakil depression, with microbial communities harbouring up to 99% of archaea. Go check these unique sites: nature.com/articles/s4155…

New ant species showing wound care behaviour! 🐜🚑 In this new study we describe wound care in the desert ant Cataglyphis nodus. Interestingly, sterile injuries received more attention than infected ones and there might be a good reason for doing so... a short thread 🧵 (1/6)

The raw power of melt water on a hot summer day as seen out of the #glacier portal at Rhonegletscher. This is water nourishing one of the biggest streams of Europe from the Alps down to the Mediterranean Sea. Dynamics will change though once the ice is gone...

Automated DNA extractions, bye bye manual pipetting 👋🧬#biofoundries #automation

Our new study led by brilliant PhD student Kelsey Williamson (along with many wonderful collaborators), resolves the root of the Eukaryote Tree of Life 🌍🧬 with unmatched precision! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great excitement here to today when Philip Keena spotted some of our Freshwater Pearl Mussels releasing glochidia into the fish tanks. The salmon 🐟was having a taste. The 2nd 🎥 is of snapping glochidia under the 🔬 looking for a fish. #CaptiveBreeding Marine Institute National Parks and Wildlife Service
