A 3-year PhD position on theoretical eco-evolutionary dynamics has been re-opened in my group. Applications only via the online Softgarden tool. For more information see image attached.

#eDNA is revolutionizing #biodiversity sciences, #ecology & #evolution. While we totally agree on its opportunities, Couton Marjorie, Frédérique Viard and I call for some caution regarding inherent limits for its use for #population #genetics. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… 1/n🧵on why.
