Our study offers an #eDNA based snapshot — a layered moment frozen in time — revealing the hidden #zooplankton diversity in the Marmara and Aegean Seas during the #mucilage event.

Check out our original research article, now published in Marine Biodiversity by Springer Nature:
Using eDNA metabarcoding to capture a snapshot of plankton community composition in the western Marmara Sea and northeastern Aegean Sea - Marine Biodiversity
The Sea of Marmara serves as a biological corridor connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. The Aegean Sea, a part of the Mediterranean Sea, interacts with the Sea of Marmara through water ...

Big news from the Golden Horn, İstanbul! Our eDNA citizen science project (Rufford) will be at MARUF25, Istanbul, 1–3 Oct. I’ll share how tiny traces of DNA reveal biodiversity, track ecosystem health, and bring the local community together—rowing included! 🚣‍♂️ #MARUF25 #eDNA

Recently we biked 🚴‍♂️ along Florya’s coast & forest 🌳 in Istanbul during our Urban Cycling & Nature Observation workshop! Using citizen science apps like #iNaturalist & #BiciZen @spotteron.net, we tried to understand the local flora & fauna, passed monumental trees, and experienced urban cycling.

The day has come 💫 I will soon open up a 4-year PhD position @biodiversosurjc.bsky.social .

We'll be studying how global change impacts high-mountain lake food webs ⛰️. Details to follow. DM me if you're interested, and please share!

I joined the 5th one in Barcelona when I was a master student - I’m still wearing my jellyfish t-shirt 😅 After a long break, maybe it’s time to be there again.

Our #eDNA - based lagoon zooplankton project has recently been awarded funding by TÜBİTAK.

It’s especially meaningful as my first PI-led project with national funding. I’ll be conducting it at the Institute of Environmental Sciences, Boğaziçi University, with colleagues from Boğaziçi and Hacettepe.

Recently, I had the opportunity to join the @marco-bolo.bsky.social Data Analysis Challenge!

This initiative brought together participants from the eDNA community to analyze phytoplankton and fish datasets using a variety of bioinformatic pipelines.

Thanks to the organizers and all participants.
