Molecular Ecology, Biodiversity and Barcoding

1) Biodiversity research and monitoring through (e)DNA (meta)barcoding
2) Data curation and Bioinformatics tools for (e)DNA (meta) barcoding
3) Evolution and Comparative phylogeography of Aquatic Species
Just published a couple of days ago our review "Tracing the intruders: a global appraisal of marine non-indigenous species detection through (e)DNA-based approaches"

🥝 Nematodes affect kiwi production — but the impact depends on the species and cultivar.
A CBMA study reveals the complexity of these interactions and supports more sustainable agricultural strategies.
