Was ist Biodiversität?
Warum geht sie zurück?
Was können wir dagegen tun?

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:👏

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.

[Dominik Kirschner @DoKirschner]

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.

#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.
