We need a safety net of of multiple interlinked and ambitious goals for #biodiversity: #ecosystems, #species, genetic diversity. 60 biodiversity experts from 26 countries led by Sandra Diaz with Luc De Meester IGB Berlin (now on Bluesky) in Science Magazine igb-berlin.de/en/news/we-nee…

This is great! Results from our pre-conference workshop is published #iBOL2019. Thx everyone, especially Kamil Hupało @kamilhupalo.bsky.social Dr Kristy Deiner Markus Majaneva An urban Blitz with a twist: rapid biodiversity assessment using aquatic environmental DNA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed…

Not one to be missed if you are interested in development of #eDNA methods for #biodiversity monitoring. Free registration. Planned for Central European Time.

Slovak stakeholder COST Action CA15219 national workshop turned out very well. 49 participants, 16 institutions, full discussion and positive responses. Thanks very much to all speakers and listeners!

[#Entomolgy] A revision of Onychelmis Hinton, 1941 (Coleoptera: Elmidae), with description of #NewSpecies, DNA barcoding and notes on the geography of the genus. ⬇️ 🔗DOI: doi.org/10.5852/ejt.20… ▪️ Marek Linský, Zuzana Čiamporová & Fedor Čiampor jr ▪️ #Elmidae #Coleoptera #taxonomy

Once more thanks especially to #DNAquaNet core group &keynote speakers.

4th Joint Danube Survey published by ICPDR Impressive work! COST Action CA15219 contributed with #eDNA #metabarcoding analyses that complement the great efforts by the JDS team. #environmentalmonitoring LIFE Programme danubesurvey.org/jds4/publicati…

eDNA has been included in IUCN’s guidelines for planning and monitoring corporate biodiversity performance. This is a major milestone for the mainstreaming of this new technology! Read more about how eDNA is on its way up: ow.ly/JWDS50EVzIo

Collecting Palingenia mayflies for ERGA pilot was successful. October fieldwork can be really fun 👍.

Our first truly in-depth barcoding gap analysis, based on exhaustive faunistic and taxonomic data, describing real state and the steps needed to improve the status published in STOTEN. Many thanks to COST Action CA15219 who initiated its creation. doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…
