#Freshwater ecosystems are most affected by #biodiversity loss. Assessing & understanding their biodiversity is critical for protection & accountability. While I am on sabbatical UBCBiodiversity & #FlyLess, a🧵on my lab’s presentations World Biodiversity Forum Talk to these ECRs in Davos!


Can we engineer for biodiversity? What are the synergies and trade-offs between biodiversity promotion and ecosystem services? I'm really excited to share my work on the topic today in Davos at the #WBF22 (Dischma, 16-16:15)! #bluegreenbiodiversity Eawag WSL Umweltforschung @wslresearch.bsky.social


I’m ready for the World Biodiversity Forum! Have a look at my poster and the session will be on Wednesday from 14:00 to 16:00, so come over if you want to know more about changes in aquatic-terrestrial food webs! #WBF2022 #BGBinitiative WSL Umweltforschung @wslresearch.bsky.social Eawag



What a great Eco PhD Symposium this year at Eawag! Not only did 16 PhD students present their projects, but also 3 keynote speakers: Prof. Dr. Antoine Guisan (EcoSpat group), Prof. Dr. David Aldridge and Dr. Francesca Cesari (Francesca Cesari ).


Our #rstats package refdb for DNA reference database management is now available on #CRAN and published in Molecular Ecology Resources. It offers a large palette of tools to organize, clean, and filter ref data for #metabarcoding and molecular studies. With @altermattlab ⬇️⬇️⬇️ (1/6)

Thank you so much Florian Leese for the warm welcome! Super interesting talks and feedbacks about #edna and primer design!

3/5 followed (still Thursday...) by Kilian Perrelet in the 'Aquatic community ecology session' (S20) at 12:45, talking on #eDNA to uncover #aquatic and #terrestrial arthropod community structures in cities #UrbanEcology 🟩🟦🧬🦠🐟🌳🏙️🛣️🐞


Thank you British Ecological Society for letting me present our work on the effect of urbanization on aquatic 🦟 and terrestrial 🪲 arthropods communities and interactions using eDNA 🧬! Great conference and fantastic people!


What a great day today University of Zurich at the Science and Nature festival teaching people from young to old how interesting, cool and so close aquatic biodiversity can be! 🐚🦐🐸 Judging by the number of happy faces, wet boots and critters collected, people seemed to enjoy it a lot!
