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:👏 @altermatt_lab @loic_pellissier Xiaowei Zhang @ELE_ETHWSL @YanZhan04701782 Wenjun Zhong 4/4

#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. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… 1/n🧵on why.
