📰 A recent article, supported by our project, was published in Pensoft Publishers' (@pensoft.net) Metabarcoding and Metagenomics journal. 🧬 The study evaluates the TRLs of molecular tools for #monitoring like #eDNA and DNA #metabarcoding. 👀 Full article: mbmg.pensoft.net/article/1308...

🌍 #Science meets #policy! @unepwcmc.bsky.social is hosting an Online Stakeholder Workshop under the OBSGESSION project on 25 September. 🤝 The workshop's main focus is on how the project can address policy needs and gaps. ℹ️ For more information: obsgession.eu/news/obsgess...

🌍OBSGESSION spotted at the @mambo-project.eu annual meeting in the @pensoft.net corner 👀 #MAMBOagm 🍃MAMBO is an EU-funded project that aims to develop and implement tools for monitoring the #conservation status and #ecological requirements of species and habitats.

🌍✨ A monumental event is coming to Colombia next month - #LivingData2025 🇨🇴 🌱Bringing together #biodiversity networks, scientists, and experts worldwide 🌎🤝

🌍 OBSGESSION joins #WorldLakeDay 💧 A key focus of our work is monitoring #freshwater #ecosystems under disturbances and #climatechange - and understanding the implications these can have for biodiversity. 🐟🌿 🔗Learn more: www.un.org/en/observanc...

🎉 We wrap up the #PreviousResearch campaign with another interesting article. The main character this time is SPEECHIO, a spectral information system developed to support the entire spectroscopy data life cycle - from collection to analysis. Full article: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/100...

🧐 This week, on #PreviousResearch, we show you how mapping the abundance of the #soil #microbiome across three North American terrestrial #ecosystems (savanna 🌾, boreal 🌲, tundra ❄️) can be done using #satellite imaging and #eDNA. 📃 Full article: research.utwente.nl/en/publicati...
