  1. #Taraxacum #officinale (#Cichorieae) is native to Eurasia; it serves as a #pollensource for numerous insects and also is #indicatorplant for #calcium/#potassium. Its parts are relevant #foodsources. In their studies in Armenia B. Babayan et al. (2025) found concentrations of #heavymetals in the #soil leading to #DNApolymorphisms and thus being well-suited as a #bioindicator for #ecotoxicology.

  6. Did you know mayflies are among the oldest insects, with fossils over 300 million years old?
    Cloeon dipterum is a type of mayfly. This photo shows a female in the subimago stage—a short, non-feeding phase between nymph and adult. She uses energy stored as a nymph and will molt one last time to become a full adult. Mayflies are very sensitive to pollution, so they are used to check how healthy freshwater habitats are!

  7. #postdocjob in #MolecularEcology with my friend, collaborator and excellent PI material Tristan Cordier, in Bergen, Norway (not Europe's sunniest small big city but perhaps the most beautiful)

    2y (extendable) in two EU projects (BIOcean5D and ANERIS). Tasks include : 

    - developing SLIM to integrate long-reads, metaG and metaT processing

    - identifying #eDNA based #bioindicator s of marine ecosystems health

    Room to develop own ideas and seek funding. Deadline Feb 15
