Call for proposals to perform research at long-term ecosystem research sites eLTER 🧬🔬 If you're interested e.g. in #eDNA analyses at #RhineMainObservatory with SENCKENBERG & Uni Duisburg-Essen @unidue.bsky.social let us know lter-europe.net/projects/PLUS/… deims.org/9f9ba137-342d-… COST Action CA15219 Alliance for Freshwater Life #H2020

Slovak stakeholder COST Action CA15219 national workshop turned out very well. 49 participants, 16 institutions, full discussion and positive responses. Thanks very much to all speakers and listeners!

[#Entomolgy] A revision of Onychelmis Hinton, 1941 (Coleoptera: Elmidae), with description of #NewSpecies, DNA barcoding and notes on the geography of the genus. ⬇️ 🔗DOI: doi.org/10.5852/ejt.20… ▪️ Marek Linský, Zuzana Čiamporová & Fedor Čiampor jr ▪️ #Elmidae #Coleoptera #taxonomy

Happy #TaxonomistAppreciationDay. Celebrate Taxonomy. It is wanderful and exciting research field. Moreover it provides a very base of all biological research. 🥂

4th Joint Danube Survey published by ICPDR Impressive work! COST Action CA15219 contributed with #eDNA #metabarcoding analyses that complement the great efforts by the JDS team. #environmentalmonitoring LIFE Programme danubesurvey.org/jds4/publicati…

Collecting Palingenia mayflies for ERGA pilot was successful. October fieldwork can be really fun 👍.

Just in time for #EarthDay: proud of this video produced with Hannah James on cutting-edge methods used by Fryxell & colleagues Centre for Biodiversity Genomics (CBG) to study insects on farms. Knowledge mobilization project funded by Food from Thought youtu.be/PLhXXKfGTNI

This fully-specified model fits all the observations and thus constitutes a plausible explanation of what's going on.

When we let nature be nature amazing things can happen. Protect nature in all its forms. #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #climate #energy #nature #rewilding

Tiny urban forests can help #rewild urban settings and help fight #climatechange. The brainchild of the Japanese botanist Miyawaki is taking his idea global. We have so many solutions. Let's stop the delays and implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #forests #nature

In case you have not seen the excellent blog by Paolo Crosetto. And the answer is? It is both: MDPI uses predatory practices while also publishing quality content. paolocrosetto.wordpress.com/author/milanph…

We need to do better. There is no planet B. This one is all we've got. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #climate #energy #nature #GreenNewDeal

Officially approved last year, this year begins our new POLINES project focused on metabarcoding analysis of pollinator biodiversity. So looking forward to the first season 🐝🦟🐞🪰🪳

🧬Express barcoding: NextGenPCR revolutionized COVID detection - now it's accelerating DNA barcoding🐝🐞! See how 2 students barcode 250 flies 🪰 in 6 hrs with equipment that fits on a lab bench: better and faster than morphospecies sorting. Video 1 of 2: doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…
