With Florian Altermatt @florianaltermatt.bsky.social and Couton Marjorie , we synthesize all possible problems inherent to DNA reference databases and discuss possible solutions in this new article in Molecular Ecology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17… #metabarcoding #eDNA

Join my group! Fully funded #PhD position in Community & Ecosystems #Ecology (4 yrs) UZH Science Eawag. Study meta-ecosystem dynamics in #freshwater streams using #amphipods, #experiments #fieldwork and #modelling. apply.refline.ch/673277/1010/pu… Please #RT & apply by Feb 25

Ok... Can we run this thing on the entire body of ecological literature to extract the network of all biotic interactions ever described 🤯
