Our study ‘The #global #human impact on #biodiversity’ is out @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
🌍🌐🐟🌿🪲 🫎🦋🐝🪲
Unprecedented #synthesis of >2000 studies shows humans are not only shrinking species numbers—but reshaping entire communities across the planet.

Any of my followers still in this heII site?
Can I interest you in a new method we developed for comprehensive assessment of biodiversity across the tree of life using #eDNA ? 🧬
Check our new preprint now on #SEQIDIST metagenomics

Proud to have led the @UNESCO eDNA Expeditions with the World Heritage marine programme! 21 sites, 250 kids, cutting-edge eDNA tech & amazing results!
We identified 4000+ species—28 mammals, 86 sharks+rays & 120 Red List-threatened species!

🌊 We are glad to share our new paper that was just published in Environmental Microbiology Reports! This study investigates the #seasonaldynamics of #bacterial community structure and function in #surfzoneseawater at a recreational beach in Ostend, Belgium. Check it out here! enviromicro-journals.onlinel… @VLIZnews @MaartenDeRijcke @jaasselm @PascalHablutzel @liujasoncn @JanssenColin

Discover the seasonal dance of marine plankton! 🦠🧬Find out how dinoflagellates, Phaeocystis, and diatoms shape the North Sea's eukaryotic microbiome across seasons🌊 #mBio @michielperneel @VLIZnews @PascalHablutzel @MaereLab journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
In an article just published in @mbiojournal, @vliznews and @viblifesciences joined forces to leverage metatranscriptomics to investigate the seasonal metabolic dynamics of marine plankton. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…. A 🧵 (1/8)
Did you know that larvae of marine organisms respond to sound? We have shown that pelagic larvae of the Pacific oyster (Magallana gigas) prefer to settle in the presence of oyster reef sounds. nature.com/articles/s41598-0…. A 🧵 (1/6)
Natural and anthropogenic soundscapes should be considered in reef conservation and restoration projects. Our data suggests that acoustic enrichment may be a promising avenue to bolster reef recovery in oysters. (5/6)
