Onze collega's aan het werk @INBOVlaanderen De stierkikker rukt nu ook op in Limburg, de provincie start met de bestrijding vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2022…

Today we are presenting our most recent research outputs at the International Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species in Ostend, Belgium. Proud to be a member of this enthusiastic research team! #ICAIS2022 FWO @INBOVlaanderen #eDNA #eTeam

The sun is out, and that means field work! We are now joining forces with other INBO colleagues to validate our eDNA monitoring techniques in comparison to traditional fishing methods. Exciting stuff, coming soon! #eDNA #fieldwork TEREC @INBOVlaanderen FWO

One of the advantages of being a #biologist is the variety of the job. Today we are fishing on the river Scheldt to compare trawl catches to #eDNA #metabarcoding data.

New #OpenAccess article published in #EnvironmentalDNA! We show that quantitative #eDNA analyses accurately predict abundance and locate breeding ponds in a landscape dominated by a voracious #invasive frog species. doi.org/10.1002/edn3.3… FWO @INBOVlaanderen

⚠️⚠️INSTAGRAM TAKEOVER ALERT ⚠️⚠️ This week I am taking over the FWO Instagram account to display the wonders of my PhD research topic. Curious about eDNA and how we use it to detect fish? Check it out: instagram.com/p/CeK8VTDNdMe/… FWO @INBOVlaanderen TEREC

Today we are being interviewed and photographed by Natuur en Bos and Vilda Photo to report on our latest #eDNA findings in ANB's yearly magazine "Vislijn". Curious? ➡️➡️➡️ instagram.com/p/CeV1xo7LPeB/… @INBOVlaanderen TEREC

Testing whether #eDNA-based water quality scoring is affected by the sampling period. Hard work, big fun. From human chains to transfer #fish, to getting saved after falling in the #river. Respect to my colleagues who perform this work regularly! TEREC @INBOVlaanderen

Volle concentratie op de #SciCommAcademy kick-off! Vandaag #workshop #populairwetenschappelijk #schrijven✍️ met Kim Verhaeghe en deelnemers van UGent, Associatie KU Leuven, @INBOVlaanderen. Check andere trainingen: ow.ly/IPoW50KI3i9 #WeCom (Gezien wat er op de slide staat?)👇

New #OpenAccess article published in #EnvironmentalDNA ! 🍾🍾 We show the impact of both river discharge and fish biomass on the downstream eDNA dispersal patterns within a river. doi.org/10.1002/edn3.3… FWO @INBOVlaanderen TEREC

Van die betere dagen: nu ook te lezen bij #EOS Blogs! Over hoe sporenonderzoek naar #vissen het antwoord kan bieden op de vraag "hoe gaat het met ons water vandaag?" Kijk snel op eoswetenschap.eu/natuur-milieu/… @INBOVlaanderen TEREC FWO

🐟The next chapter of my #PhD🧬 is now available in Environmental Research! What is the spatial scale of information of #eDNA metabarcoding in a river 🫧? Find out now ⏩researchgate.net/publication/36…⏪ @INBOVlaanderen FWO

Some highlights of this year's twaite shad (Alosa fallax) tagging campaign led by ILVO's Pieterjan Verhelst: over 100 individuals tagged with acoustic or data storage tags! Thanks for letting me join :) #trackingnotslacking @BlanchCasals @arc_labriere

You can swim, but you can't hide! 🔍🧬🐟 Tonight, I will tell you all about how #eDNA can be used to detect riverine fish Pint of Science BE See you there! 🍻

Bultrugzalm in de Maas! Wij vonden deze Pacifische zalm via #eDNA ook terug bij ons. Nu is het afwachten of de soort zich hier ook effectief vestigt, zoals in Ierland en Schotland.. Zoek jij mee? 🧬🐟🐻 hbvl.be/cnt/dmf2023062…

Off to Norway next week, where our research group at @INBOVlaanderen, together with Quentin Mauvisseau & colleagues, will be giving a workshop at the university of Oslo, entitled "Analysing environmental DNA samples using a ddPCR platform". Very excited! 😀🧬 forbio.uio.no/events/courses…

Proud to present: 🐟 Chapter 3 of my #PhD --> now available in Science of the Total Environment. Read about how #eDNA metabarcoding can be used to monitor fish communities in the Scheldt estuary! ⚓️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @INBOVlaanderen TEREC FWO
