Happy #BiodiversityDay!
Check out the cool forest biodiversity work we are doing at the SUPERB Project!
Metabarcoding of about 1,600 malaise and 1600 soil samples from forest sites in Spain, France, Sweden, Czech Republic, Romania and Serbia.

Echoing thanks to @royalsociety.org and @ukdnawg.bsky.social for hosting a great 2 days of broadening horizon talks, integrating more disciplines, countries and synergies into the #UKDNAWG25. Looking forwards to more @meebangor.bsky.social contributions to #eDNA research!

First PhD sampling completed!
I went to sample the blackout experiment with 20-year old bare fallow plots at the Henfaes Research Farm (Bangor University)
Here, we want to study SOM/SOC and the cycling of “old persistent” carbon in the absence of new fresh plant input.

Photographic evidence that it has also colonised a galaxy far, far away...Silene uniflora growing on Luke Skywalker's island retreat (aka Skellig Michael)!
Organisms can adapt to environmental change through individual plasticity. Past experience of coping with salt water has conferred on the coastal flower Silene uniflora enhanced plasticity to cope with zinc pollution from mines. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Genomics and morphometry of herbarium specimens elucidate the origin of the Cape Verde date palm (Phoenix atlantica A.Chev.) and highlight its agronomic potential
As climate change accelerates, breeding resilient crops is urgent. The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), a crucial 18 billion USD fruit crop, underpins North African and West Asian oasis agroecosys...

A reliance on human habitats is key to the success of an introduced predatory reptile
Understanding the success of animals in novel environments is increasingly important as human-mediated introductions continue to move species far beyond their natural ranges. Alongside these introduct...

Our new paper shows that plasticity that has evolved to deal with one stressful situation, can help plants to adapt rapidly to new stressful situations. doi.org/10.1073/pnas... @meebangor.bsky.social @rbgkew.bsky.social @ukri.org @pnas.org
