Applied Animal Ecology
@apanec-lab.bsky.social
From cities to farmland to the ocean, we study animals in changing landscapes/seascapes. Using molecular tools and fieldwork, we aim to understand biodiversity and develop solutions for conservation and sustainability.
Antonia from our eRNAmaris project visited Le Croisic, France, to collect water samples with our partners at Ifremer 🌊! Sampling over time will reveal how fish eRNA degrades 🐠🧬. Big thanks to the Océarium for making this possible!

🎉 Exciting news! Our project Frog in the Waterdrop led by Corinna Wallinger received the Peter Petrich Award for Sustainability from Biotop, along with €1000 to support our work on amphibian biodiversity and pathogens. A big thanks to everyone involved! 🐸💧

Developing eDNA approaches to measure biodiversity is a key endeavour in our group! 🌿🧬
Join us tomorrow (Nov 6, 9–11 am, in German) on Zoom to discover three exciting projects on amphibians, forest wildlife & pollinators with C. Wallinger, M. Traugott & S. Gurten : haup-ac-at.zoom.us/j/88638709922

👏 Wishing a fond farewell to Thomas Curran!
Thomas has developed molecular approaches to assess arthropod & plant diversity in grasslands from eDNA as part of the GeMonA+ project. 🦗🌱
Best of luck in your new lecturer position at South East Technological University, Waterford!

🎉 Congratulations to Rebecca Niklas on completing her master’s thesis!

Rebecca used eDNA samples to assess marine biodiversity and whale diet in the Azores, as part of the @ewhale-dna.bsky.social project🐋🌊

Fantastic work bridging cutting-edge molecular tools with marine ecology!
