Data from our based 2019 is here! The approach can evaluate a variety of ecological questions & quickly examine changes in . Thus we are able to assess the state of ecosystems rapidly & efficiently: http://www.aimethods-lab.com/en/our-biodiversity-monitoring/results-biodiversity-monitoring-2019/

Gut content analysis of Peruvian caterpillars reveals new insights into host-plant relationships and the methods used to examine species interactions key to BIOSCAN

lets us analyze gut contents and at the same time specify caterpillars from around the world. To preserve , it's important to understand different life stages, what they eat, as well as how food webs change throughout the year. http://www.aimethods-lab.com/en/dna-metabarcoding/food-web-analysis/

A week after Easter, the egg hunt isn’t over. allows high throughput detection of wasps in lepidopteran hosts + evaluation of their parasitization rates & regulatory ecological relationships http://www.aimethods-lab.com/en/dna-metabarcoding/parasitoid-detection/

++Hey baby, what did you eat? The capercaillie feeds its chicks animal protein mostly in the form of insects. This can be tracked effectively in faecal samples using to better protect this endangered species! http://www.aimethods-lab.com/en/dna-metabarcoding/capercaillie-faeces/

Although is not (yet) a tool for quantification, it enables impressive insights into the through read-wise peaks of certain species like mid summer ,early summer specialists ( ) or generalists

Read about different approaches to bulk sample . The analysis of ethanol supernatant can supplement data, while size sorting can further improve taxonomic resolution of bulk sample homogenization. http://www.aimethods-lab.com/en/dna-metabarcoding/size-fractionation/

We love that DNA enables the visualization of the phenology of hundreds and hundreds of species in a single analysis run. (Of course this also works for fungi, bacteria and plants too!) Stay tuned for the final results of our 2.0 2019 results from our testsite at Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung - UFZ (Leipzig).

Deer oh deer! What did you eat? is a sensitive method which also allows us to detect possible parasitic infections. In this way, we can monitor the health of deer populations, as well as the spread of their pathogens. http://www.aimethods-lab.com/en/dna-metabarcoding/deer-faeces/

Deer oh Deer! Was hast du nur gegessen? DNA Metabarcoding ist eine empfindliche Methode, mit der wir auch mögliche parasitäre Infektionen erkennen können. Auf diese Weise können wir die Gesundheit von Rehpopulationen sowie die Ausbreitung ihrer Krankheitserreger überwachen. http://www.aimethods-lab.com/de/dna-metabarcoding/rehlosungen/
