Humans use more than a third (~15,000 species) of Earth’s vertebrates, and almost 40% of exploited species are threatened by human use 🦧🦉🦜🐆🐢🦏🐡🐸🐫🦥🐟 Check out our new paper in Communications Biology today 🔗nature.com/articles/s4200… #biodiversity #humanwildlife #openaccess

Our new study in NatureEcoEvo unveils unexpected patterns in deep-sea #macroecology. A biogeographic boundary splits the #NEPacific in two provinces, deep & shallow-abyssal, with distinct seabed fauna but same diversity levels across the #CCZ. 1/ nature.com/articles/s4155…

🚢Incoming fieldwork for the GreenFjord project! Our team studies the impact of climate change on Greenlandic fjord ecosystem. With #eDNA, we aim to uncover the links between communities and #EnvironmentalChange. Stay tuned for ship-based iceberg pictures funded by Swiss Polar Institute @swisspolar.bsky.social📸

#LatestNews #GreenFjord scientists aboard the RV Sanna (#Greenland Institute of Natural Resources) investigated how the changes in the water column affect marine biodiversity using novel #eDNA techniques. 👉greenfjord-project.ch/greenfjord-abo… #FlagshipInitiative #PolarScience #Fieldwork

aaaand here's the marine cluster team of #GreenFjord together with the fantastic crew of #RVSanna GCRC

Do marine heatwaves have big effects in general? Turns out no! Despite all the big ones out there, a systematic survey showed there have been an even larger number of "silent heatwaves" with no detectable impact. Wonderful analysis led by Alexandra Fredston. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Visit our stand at #scientifica23 and learn about the emergence of biodiversity, how to monitor, and conserve it! We are located at ETH Hönggerberg in the HIL building and looking forward to your visit 🐟🦅🦦 #sciencefair #science #communication #outreach

Virginie Marques Ecosystems and Landscape Evolution samples for #eDNA from the fjords' (sub)surface to unravel fish diversity. The idea is to understand how glacial retreat and rapidly increasing temperatures will affect #biodiversity in fjord ecosystems #GreenFjord

Introducing our first #mooc on environmental DNA for biodiversity assessment and conservation! Learn how to apply the methods of #eDNA to different case studies in this immersive online course. Ecosystems and Landscape Evolution @WSL_research usys.ethz.ch/en/news-events…
