Molecular ecologist, using environmental DNA to investigate questions related to trophic rewilding and interactions between species and the environment 🦬🌿🪲
New paper: Diets and dung-associated invertebrates investigated with #eDNA at 5 Danish rewilding sites.

Key results:
Diets and dung-communities differ between cattle and horses, and feeding affects diets, but effects depend on intensity!

Great timing with #WorldRewildingDay and just handed in my PhD dissertation,where I investigate ecosystem effects in relation to trophic rewilding with #environmentalDNA.

Link to the first two published papers in comments - looking forward to share the remaining results later.. Stay tuned!
