If you think the seasons are feeling… different, you may be right.
Our new review in Science (@science.org) shows that Earth’s changing rhythms could have major and underestimated consequences for life on Earth. 🌍🧵

Ecological and evolutionary consequences of changing seasonality
Climate change and other anthropogenic drivers alter seasonal regimes across freshwater, terrestrial, and marine biomes. Seasonal patterns affect ecological and evolutionary processes at different eco...

Very happy to be at @aquaecomics.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy conference! So many great studies showcasing innovations in DNA-based biodiversity studies! Great to be among innovators & presenting our (e)DNA-based approach for fish parasites @impact-parasites.bsky.social including the fish smoothies!
@kamilhupalo.bsky.social introducing the „fish smoothie approach“ for detecting fish parasites! #AquaEcOmics @aquaecomics.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy

My first contribution to aquatic parasitology! 🤓🙌 We propose a new method using fish smoothies for DNA-based ID & detection of fish parasites 🤯🐟🦠 still room for improvement, but the method is highly comparable with morphological ID; 🔜 #metabarcoding
➡️Check out the preprint: doi.org/10.21203/rs....
A new method for rapid detection and identification of fish parasites through whole-fish homogenization
Background: The global biodiversity crisis, driven by anthropogenic activities, signals the onset of the sixth mass extinction in Earth’s history. The biodiversity decline is particularly evident in f...
