#Antworten der #Wissenschaft auf wichtige Fragen zur #Biodiversität:
Was ist Biodiversität?
Warum geht sie zurück?
Was können wir dagegen tun?

***Job alert*** I'm looking for a postdoctoral researcher in rapid #adaptation to multiple stressors. Interested in invasive species, #fieldwork, lab experiments & #bioinformatics? apply here apply.refline.ch/673277/1118… feel free to reach out for questions, and thanks for RT!
Excited to share the first output of my PhD! We explored how intense land use affects #fish🐟 diversity in China's Shaying River basin using #eDNA #metabarcoding.
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
🧵1/4
We investigated if #fish community structure is determined by the #LULC and #spatial gradients. Fitting distance-decay models and redundancy analyses, we found weaker-than-expected links between the #LULC, #environmental gradients, and the #community structure.
3/4
We conclude that the lack of structure in the landscape is reflected in the lack of structure in the aquatic community.
👏A big thanks goes out to all the collaborators:👏

#eDNA is revolutionizing #biodiversity sciences, #ecology & #evolution.
While we totally agree on its opportunities, @CoutonMarjorie, @Fred__Viard and I call for some caution regarding inherent limits for its use for #population #genetics.
