Thrilled to join the #COST Action #genoa! 🧬⛵🔬
We aim to advance genetic diversity research, monitor and protect biodiversity, and support the use of genetic data across Europe.
Looking forward to impactful conservation efforts! 🤩

💧 Groundwater is vital for people, food, and ecosystems, but irrigation can threaten it through habitat loss and contamination. #DarCo ( #BiodivProtect) & #SubBioMon ( #BiodivMon) call for sustainable practices, precision tech, and stronger biomonitoring.

Christina Hvilsom ( #BiodivMon #Ginamo project) shares some keys to successful engagement: Find leverage points, stay persistent with outreach, listen to others, address concerns, and offer capacity building! 🔑🌍

🐟 Trout translocation—what happens over time? A 30-year study in Sweden finds extensive hybridisation, increased genetic diversity, and low introgression. A clear case of genetic monitoring aiding conservation. With #GINAMO ( #BiodivMon)

Biological data derived from European weather radars - Scientific Data Scientific Data - Biological data derived from European weather radars

📡 Weather radars = animal tracking goldmine!
#GloBAM ( #BiodivScen) and #HiRAD ( #BiodivMon) present datasets unlocking continental-scale bird movements. 141 radar stations in 18 countries, from 2008 to 2023!

Oxygen Consumption and Carbon Budget in Groundwater-Obligate and Surface-Dwelling Diacyclops Species (Crustacea Copepoda Cyclopoida) Under Temperature Variability This study explores the metabolic response and carbon budget of two cyclopoid copepod species, Diacyclops belgicus Kiefer, 1936 (a stygobitic, groundwater-adapted species) and Diacyclops crassicaudis…

🦠 Cave copepods aren't always slow. @biodiv_DarCo ( #BiodivProtect) & #SubBioMon ( #BiodivMon) compare two Diacyclops species. One species shows high metabolism, and both show thermal stability, suggesting adaptability to moderate temperature increases.

🌳 #MOTIVATE ( #BiodivMon) finds increased species richness but a decline in specialists and threatened species in Czech plant communities due to factors like eutrophication, land abandonment, and climate change. Key insights for conservation!

🐸 Amphibians are declining globally, and ponds are crucial for their survival. So, what makes a good amphibian pond? #TRANSPONDER ( #BiodivMon) studied 201 ponds, highlighting the importance of local factors like chlorophyll-a and pond size.

The Impact of Dealiasing Biases on Bird and Insect Data Products of C-Band Weather Radars and Consequences for Aeroecological Applications (1) The aliasing of radial velocities from weather radars is a known challenge in meteorology. It may also occur during bird migration if the unambiguous velocity threshold is below the birds’ ground…

📡 How fast are those birds flying? #HiRAD ( #BiodivMon) shows radar velocity aliasing complicates calculations. Single-PRF leads to biases, while dual-PRF ensures accurate data. Effective dealiasing is crucial for reliable bird migration tracking.

🐟 Coastal infrastructure disrupts fish connectivity, threatening marine biodiversity. #NorTrack ( #BiodivMon) highlights the need for mitigation to restore connectivity and support fish movements.

🌱 #ASICS ( #BiodivClim) & #ForestWeb ( #BiodivMon) found limited upward spread of non-native plants along roads in the Scandes, but increased cover & richness at lower elevations, along with increased arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

Proficiency testing and cross-laboratory method comparison to support standardisation of diatom DNA metabarcoding for freshwater biomonitoring DNA metabarcoding of benthic diatoms has been successfully applied for biomonitoring at the national scale and can now be considered technically ready for routine application. However, protocols and…

🧬 DNA metabarcoding of diatoms is ready for biomonitoring, but varying protocols hinder comparability. #DNAquaIMG ( #BiodivMon) shows successful protocol transfer across labs, proposing a strategy ensuring distinct protocols meet minimum standards.

⛅ Land ecosystems thrive in microclimates often decoupled from standard weather readings. Understanding these variations is crucial for better predictions. #ASICS ( #BiodivMon) offers 10 guidelines, from study design to data analysis.

Today I have the privilege to talk to @BiodiversaPlus #BiodivMon about Data Management Plans. I'm really proud of the work the @FUNACTION_EU Data Management Committee (tagged + Alice Retter, Daniel Romero Mujalli, Veljo Kisand) does to guide our work. ...

TFW your research project featured in the @BiodiversaPlus #BiodivMon call brochure 😍. @MoSTFun_EU is 1 of 33 funded projects.
To achieve that, we had to impress both Scientific & Monitoring/Policy experts.
We dream big and work hard!
