Loads of cool stuff is going on in RESTOREID, we are half way through and starting to get really interesting results back. Really looking forward to seeing the results of all the hard work sampling lots of rodents across lots of sites.
From mines to meadows 🌱
Our fieldwork in Flanders reveals how restoration transforms wildlife — and influences zoonotic risk.

A paper for the #eDNA crowd, in particular those using flies for terrestrial biomonitoring. We show that massive pooling works well, reducing costs + time, bringing us a step closer to scalable terrestrial eDNA biomonitoring. doi.org/10.1002/edn3...
An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring
Metabarcoding of invertebrate-derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption....

Halfway through and we are at the super exciting part of starting to see results from the project, very excited to see what will come out over the next two years

A PhD Position! Aim is to use pop-scale metagenomics to map global phage diversity and uncover evolutionary signatures that could point to new antimicrobials. Work with @lucyvandorp.bsky.social + Joanne Santini - two creative scientists who are also very fun to work with!

We launched this project a year ago along with an amazing group of collaborators. Our year 1 meeting is now over but it's been incredible seeing the amount of work and the achievements of the project so far. Here's to the next 3 years!
The day began with a project overview by @lucikirkpatrick.bsky.social celebrating Year 1 milestones:
✅ Restore game launch by @glitchers.bsky.social & @ University of Stirling 🎮 (glitchers.itch.io/restore)
✅ 1st paper submission
✅ Sample collection & site visits
✅ Tools in progress
✅ Restore game launch by @glitchers.bsky.social & @ University of Stirling 🎮 (glitchers.itch.io/restore)

✅ Sample collection & site visits
✅ Tools in progress
Restore by GLITCHERS, Nils Bunnefeld, Brad Duthie

I'm around today with @iosatracking.bsky.social to chat all things biologgers, social networks, spatial movements (and also bats / parasites) - swing by stand 11a in the exhibitors stand between sessions if you want to learn more (and play with trains / dinosaurs 🦖🦖) #BES2024

Are you at #BES2024? Interested in #smallanimals, #animalmovement and #proximity? Come check our loggers out! Next to the poster stands

IoSA is going to be at #BES2024! Find us for a chat about proximity sensing, movement tracking and all things biologging/ conservation tech and we can geek out together 😊😊
