Our new study shows how eDNA can track fine scale marine biodiversity loss under human impacts. Using a large scale mesocosm experiment we monitored temporal dynamics in bio-accumulation, response to stressors and eDNA degradation #eDNA #MarineBiodiversity onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Free online seminar: What is a linear mixed-effects model? Date and time: 11 November 2024; 14.00-16.00 UK time. We will explain the concept of a linear mixed-effects model, and also show a simple example For more information: highstat.com and follow the link to 'Seminars'.

Interested in working in temperate freshwater ecosystems? I am looking for a PhD student to join me at @UTAS_ to work on the ecology of cold-adapted animals in alpine and cave environments. #PhD #biodiversity #ecology utas.edu.au/research/degre…

Our first FYP student, Vivy is officially graduated! 🎉 Good job, we are proud of you! 🥳 We are happy to have her to continue as research assistant in our lab. Here’s to the next chapter ➡️💪🏼

We are looking for our next talented lab magician! Come and join the @EcoDNA_UC team and our newly accredited National eDNA Reference Centre 🧬🧬 uctalent.canberra.edu.au/en/job/501311/…

Happy to see these results to be published in Global Ecology and Conservation. Here, we tried to reconstruct historical fish records and human mediated fish introductions in Albertans lakes ysing sedDNA @LiberEroFellows @UVicScience

We are running a hybrid stats course: Introduction to GAMM and GLMM with R - With GAM applications to spatial, and spatial-temporal data -. University of Essex, Colchester, UK. 24 - 28 June 2024. Flyer: highstat.com/Courses/Flyers…

If you haven’t already, please register for the Biodiversity Genomics 24 conference and submit your abstract! We all want to hear about your exciting science! bit.ly/4bgsxJo #biodiversity #genomics #womeninstem #abstract #science #biology #biologists #conservation

"Author finds another’s name on an Elsevier book chapter she wrote" Interesting and warrisome to see this. Pay more attention to any legal clauses for future reuse by the publisher. The editor should have known better too #AcademicWriting tinyurl.com/yc5cdxa9

Recent paper on global arthropod biodiversity dynamics. With >150,000 BINs, we show varying community diversity across biogeographic regions, indicating region-specific processes. Massive co-author support: @CBG_UofG @_SLU @helsinkiuni @HKUniversity nature.com/articles/s4200…

Happy to have this bit out as a co-first author piece. Was a massive effort stemming back to 2016. Quite a lesson in academic politics and the real-world realities of being an ECR. Many thanks to the key supporters & co-authors. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Small step for my PhD, excited!

🔝THIS really is a major update & will improve erroneous taxonomic assignments for #DNA #eDNA #metabarcoding datasets substantially! Great job @buchner_dominik @unidue 👇👇💯

Calling out to the #transposon community! We are organising a special symposium on Transposon evolution in the era of #Biodiversity #Genomics @ the upcoming #BG24 conference (session Oct 30th). Abstract submission is open! Closing June 30. Join us & RT! @SangerToL @BiodivGenomics

A very fascinating research experience in my life, great thanks to my supervisor @MatSeymour for providing me this opportunity and making me enjoy doing research!

So excited to announce a #PhDposition in my new group at @lunduniversity! Apply if you’re interested in studying the ecology and evolution of phenotypic plasticity in #TrinidadianGuppies 🐟! Info & applications here: lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo… Please RT!

I am recruiting a #postdoc to join my research group @LOEWE_TBG @geobiodiversity in Frankfurt to work on animal adaptation #Genomics . For questions feel free to contact me directly. Application deadline is 5 May. Please RT! sgn.one/i40
