If you think the seasons are feeling… different, you may be right. Our new review in Science (@science.org) shows that Earth’s changing rhythms could have major and underestimated consequences for life on Earth. 🌍🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🚨 Thrilled and honoured to lead the chapter on using #eDNA for studying aquatic #parasites - a part of just-published book on #openaccess Aquatic Parasitology led by @berndsures.bsky.social & @nicojsmit.bsky.social with top parasitologists contributing! link.springer.com/book/10.1007... More ⬇️🧵

🚨 EntoSieve is now published in Molecular Ecology Resources: Fast and accurate size-sorting of bulk insect samples! Perfect for boosting DNA megabarcoding & metabarcoding projects. 🧬🔬 DIY low-cost device, gentle on specimens and yet efficient 🦋🐞 here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Lake Geneva #eDNA sample taken! 🥳 Including a demo of @alpineedna.bsky.social‘s new sampling kit! @florianaltermatt.bsky.social @kamilhupalo.bsky.social @leeselab.bsky.social @grace-kotnik.bsky.social @tiinalaamanen.bsky.social @francoiskeck.bsky.social @aquaecomics.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy

Very happy to be at @aquaecomics.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy conference! So many great studies showcasing innovations in DNA-based biodiversity studies! Great to be among innovators & presenting our (e)DNA-based approach for fish parasites @impact-parasites.bsky.social including the fish smoothies!

My first contribution to aquatic parasitology! 🤓🙌 We propose a new method using fish smoothies for DNA-based ID & detection of fish parasites 🤯🐟🦠 still room for improvement, but the method is highly comparable with morphological ID; 🔜 #metabarcoding ➡️Check out the preprint: doi.org/10.21203/rs....

Another position in @crc-resist.bsky.social, a postdoc position based in Senckenberg (Gelnhausen). If you are interested in large-scale data analysis, this position will boost your career. You will work in a very successful lab that publishes many high-ranking papers every year.

Super happy our paper on #eDNA #metabarcoding of North Sea fish using @nanoporetech.com sequencing is finally published in Molecular Ecology Resources: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Just released version 1.6.0 of the APSCALE pipeline. This update includes improved log writing and added failsafe features for better handling of invalid settings. Check it out on GitHub:#apscale #metabarcoding #pipeline github.com/DominikBuchner…

Out now in @nature.com! Our comprehensive meta-analysis of global terrestrial and marine genetic diversity demonstrates rapid loss of genetic diversity and identifies conservation interventions that could mitigate this process www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪🌍🦤🧬 #consgen #PopGen
