How do we use DNA to track elusive species and monitor biodiversity? Here is our @TED_ED lesson on #DNAmetabarcoding and #eDNA 🧬
We used funding from #H2020 grant agreement No 810729 🇪🇺
Thank you @TED_ED @HMorlon @anna_pap05 @isaacovercast @BlokMagnaye

We greatly enjoyed this citizen science workshop on sampling and monitoring #pollinators in Cyprus. It was a cloudy day, so not ideal for bees and butterflies, but we learned a lot! A big thank you to @BioGenEurope @EUgreenresearch @REA_research for promoting #CitizenScience

Do you use DNA 🧬 for insect 🐞🦟🐝🪰🪲🦋 monitoring or plan to do so? Or have you ever imagined a future where this would be routinely applied? We discuss some of the ways to advance DNA-based insect monitoring in @TrendsGenetics 🧵 1/6 authors.elsevier.com/a/1gjmw…

We are pleased to inaugurate the year with a new study just published in @Systematic_Ent
High-throughput imaging coupled with #DeepLearning and #DomainAdaptation for taxonomic classification of bulk-samples of #Coleoptera from #forests of #Cyprus [1/4]
doi.org/10.1111/syen.12583

ALT Schematic diagrams summarizing the experimental workflow of the study, depicting the geographical context and the different imaging procedures for generating the three image datasets: GH, global high quality, LH, local high quality; LL, local low quality. Taxon classification was performed using two alternative deep learning algorithms: Convolutional neural network (CNN) and domain adversarial neural network (DANN). For more details on algorithm-specific architectures, see Figure S1.
