Seeing our work on videnskab.dk brings back memories of those fieldwork days. It was a great journey from sampling archaeological and old river sediments in Serbia to the ancient DNA labs in Copenhagen. Read more about the challenges and our findings in the original paper: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

It was indeed a great journey! That cover photo was taken during a boat trip through the Danube Gorges, heading toward the prehistoric site of Lepenski Vir. If you wanna read more, we discuss our challenges and findings in Scientific Reports: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

A huge thank you to the archaeologists who were part of this journey: Kristina Penezić (Biosense Institute), Ivana Živaljević (University of Novi Sad), and David Orton (University of York). The project was developed within the SeaChanges ITN and supported by @seachange-erc.bsky.social

Our new study is out!
We analysed DNA preserved in buried river sediments and Neolithic sites (Serbia), uncovering past landscapes and traces of sturgeon populations. Read more about our findings and the challenges in such complex and dynamic contexts: doi.org/10.1038/s415... @mikkelwp.bsky.social

Our latest work is out! Ancient DNA from Danube sturgeon fossils dating back 10,000 years reveals that, despite centuries of decline, some populations have preserved high genetic diversity and ancient lineages. doi.org/10.1098/rstb...
