Just out Ecography: Pronounced changes of #subterranean #biodiversity patterns along a Late #Pleistocene #glaciation gradient. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ec… Great PhD work Mara Knüsel, using massive citizen science approach w/ drinking water providers SVGW | Fachverband für Wasser, Gas und Wärme BAFU - OFEV - UFAM - FOEN 🧵

🧬#eDNA people, please help me spread the word: we have set up the #MAnES course at @[email protected] for people who want to get into #eDNA and #MolecularTrophicInteractions covering #sampling #qPCR #metabarcoding #bioinformatics application deadline: 30th June!

In our new preprint, we directly compare homogenization and non-destructive lysis. Homogenization yields slightly higher diversity, but diversity patterns are highly consistent between treatments. Check it out: preprints.arphahub.com/article/129896/ #metabarcoding Florian Leese Lisa Wolany

I’m really excited to share our new synthesis of 2,396 (!) multiple-stressor experiments conducted in freshwater ecosystems that’s just been published in Ecology Letters: doi.org/10.1111/ele.14…

We are thrilled to announce the AquaEcOmics meeting, which will held from 17 to 21 March 2025 in Evian (France), organized by our partner institution INRAE. Find all the practical information at: aquaecomics.symposium.inrae.fr #conference #DNA #biominitoring European Research Executive Agency

🧬💻 Our user-friendly tool for primer selection (SNIPe) & comprehensive evaluation (in silico,mocks,aquaria,💧natural systems) of 14 metabarcoding primer pairs now published: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed… Try SNIPe's new features here🤓: snipe.dlougheed.com #eDNA #metabarcoding

Happy to see this one out, a great piece of interdisciplinary science and so excited to keep going on my exploration into ecohydrology! Congrats all! 👏

🚨 Attention BOLDigger users: Expect some downtime following the BOLD v5 update after October 1st. I’ll work quickly to get everything back up, but need time to review all changes. Thanks for your patience! 🙏 Please repost. #BOLDigger #BOLDv5

Thrilled to collaborate with @eDNAcollab for an exciting eDNA bioinformatics course this December🧬 We're gearing up to run this course with the selected attendees from across the 🌍and this amazing team of instructors. Can't wait to dive into the world of eDNA with you all!
