Proud to present: 🐟 Chapter 3 of my #PhD --> now available in Science of the Total Environment. Read about how #eDNA metabarcoding can be used to monitor fish communities in the Scheldt estuary! ⚓️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @INBOVlaanderen @TEREC_ugent @FWOVlaanderen

Off to Norway next week, where our research group at @INBOVlaanderen, together with @mauvisseau & colleagues, will be giving a workshop at the university of Oslo, entitled "Analysing environmental DNA samples using a ddPCR platform". Very excited! 😀🧬 forbio.uio.no/events/courses…

Bultrugzalm in de Maas! Wij vonden deze Pacifische zalm via #eDNA ook terug bij ons. Nu is het afwachten of de soort zich hier ook effectief vestigt, zoals in Ierland en Schotland.. Zoek jij mee? 🧬🐟🐻 hbvl.be/cnt/dmf2023062…

You can swim, but you can't hide! 🔍🧬🐟 Tonight, I will tell you all about how #eDNA can be used to detect riverine fish @pintofscienceBE See you there! 🍻

🐟The next chapter of my #PhD🧬 is now available in Environmental Research! What is the spatial scale of information of #eDNA metabarcoding in a river 🫧? Find out now ⏩researchgate.net/publication/36…⏪ @INBOVlaanderen @FWOVlaanderen

🐟 Honored and thankful to act as an @INBO, @FWOVlaanderen and @TEREC_ugent representative at the 10th #IFOMC in Hobart, Tasmania, where I presented our latest work on #eDNA-based fish monitoring. Great #conference, great people!

@Johansviswereld @InBo @FWOVlaanderen @TEREC_ugent Well spotted, yes indeed! ⭐✨

@Vdriecha @InBo @FWOVlaanderen @TEREC_ugent Is that a burbot?

Van die betere dagen: nu ook te lezen bij #EOS Blogs! Over hoe sporenonderzoek naar #vissen het antwoord kan bieden op de vraag "hoe gaat het met ons water vandaag?" Kijk snel op eoswetenschap.eu/natuur-milieu/… @INBOVlaanderen @TEREC_ugent @FWOVlaanderen

New #OpenAccess article published in #EnvironmentalDNA ! 🍾🍾 We show the impact of both river discharge and fish biomass on the downstream eDNA dispersal patterns within a river. doi.org/10.1002/edn3.3… @FWOVlaanderen @INBOVlaanderen @TEREC_ugent

Volle concentratie op de #SciCommAcademy kick-off! Vandaag #workshop #populairwetenschappelijk #schrijven✍️ met @kim_verhaeghe en deelnemers van @ugent, @asso_kuleuven, @INBOVlaanderen. Check andere trainingen: ow.ly/IPoW50KI3i9 #WeCom (Gezien wat er op de slide staat?)👇

Testing whether #eDNA-based water quality scoring is affected by the sampling period. Hard work, big fun. From human chains to transfer #fish, to getting saved after falling in the #river. Respect to my colleagues who perform this work regularly! @TEREC_ugent @INBOVlaanderen

Today we are being interviewed and photographed by @natuurenbos and Vilda Photo to report on our latest #eDNA findings in ANB's yearly magazine "Vislijn". Curious? ➡️➡️➡️ instagram.com/p/CeV1xo7LPeB/… @INBOVlaanderen @TEREC_ugent

⚠️⚠️INSTAGRAM TAKEOVER ALERT ⚠️⚠️ This week I am taking over the FWO Instagram account to display the wonders of my PhD research topic. Curious about eDNA and how we use it to detect fish? Check it out: instagram.com/p/CeK8VTDNdMe/… @FWOVlaanderen @INBOVlaanderen @TEREC_ugent

New #OpenAccess article published in #EnvironmentalDNA! We show that quantitative #eDNA analyses accurately predict abundance and locate breeding ponds in a landscape dominated by a voracious #invasive frog species. doi.org/10.1002/edn3.3… @FWOVlaanderen @INBOVlaanderen

One of the advantages of being a #biologist is the variety of the job. Today we are fishing on the river Scheldt to compare trawl catches to #eDNA #metabarcoding data.

The sun is out, and that means field work! We are now joining forces with other INBO colleagues to validate our eDNA monitoring techniques in comparison to traditional fishing methods. Exciting stuff, coming soon! #eDNA #fieldwork @TEREC_ugent @INBOVlaanderen @FWOVlaanderen

Today we are presenting our most recent research outputs at the International Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species in Ostend, Belgium. Proud to be a member of this enthusiastic research team! #ICAIS2022 @FWOVlaanderen @INBOVlaanderen #eDNA #eTeam
