Habitat degradation is a lead cause of biodiversity erosion around the globe. But how does it affect the microbial community associated with species leaving in degraded habitats? We investigate this point in our latest preprint. https://t.co/nWh0wQq3yt
Great to see this published, with some interesting topics from colleagues, including chapters with ex-postdoc @Federica__Vale , as well as @VTwort#Wolbachia#Methods#Screening#Sweep
2-year postdoctoral researcher position open in project on the evolutionary history of #Lepidoptera and #Trichoptera@luomus@helsinkiuni@SuomenAkatemia. Researchers interested in morphology and fossils are encouraged to apply!

Phylogenomics approach on geometrid moths solves the long-standing problem on Orthostixinae lineage! @leimurillo87 leading wonderful work that offers new insights on the origins of this megadiverse lineage @luomus@lepPhylo@VTwort@pasi_sihvonen
With plenty of colleagues, we are happy to introduce bioconvert, a software to convert bioinformatics files from one format to another. bioconvert currently includes 50 formats and 100 converters.
Big @batsgoviral week! In @PNASNews and @ScienceAdvances we test how to prevent zoonotic #spillover by interrupting virus transmission in bat reservoirs. Short story: culls didn’t reduce spillover but altered rabies spatial spread; transmissible vaccines may be a solution. A 🧵.
Welcome to Luomus seminar to hear the talk by post doc @VTwort from @BatLabFinland!

Lepakoita vaivaava valkokuonosyndrooma on eräs aikamme tuhoisimmista eläintaudeista. @annasofia_b havaitsi väitöstutkimuksessaan, että Euroopassa yleinen lepakkolaji on tolerantti taudille. Suomessa tautia ei tavattu lepakoilla lainkaan. #väitös#biologia https://t.co/utFy2NVszV

A big thank you to all our followers and speakers from the organizing team @MiraKoski, @joukoin and @HeidiPeuraniemi! Hopefully you got interesting insights to your work with #eDNAforScience and #aDNAforScience! Looking forward to continuing the discussions!
1/10 Finnish Museum of Natural History = independent research institution under @helsinkiuni. The collections, botanical, zoological, geological and paleontological specimens from all over the world, serve research in fields of biology and geology and also educational purposes.
10/11 Latest proof highlighting the power: Rainwash #eDNA#metabarcoding – a simple & cost-effective monitoring tool using rainwater. Immense potential to uncover biodiversity beyond rivers🧬🌧️🌲🌳🦋🐞🪳🐛
