Preservation methods of honey bee-collected pollen are not a source of bias in ITS2 metabarcoding

Posted on November 28, 2021June 28, 2022

Pollen metabarcoding is emerging as a powerful tool for ecological research and offers unprecedented scale in citizen science projects for environmental monitoring via honey bees. Biases in metabarcoding can be…

An integrative environmental pollen diversity assessment and its importance for the Sustainable Development Goals

Posted on November 3, 2021June 28, 2022

Pollen is at once intimately part of the reproductive cycle of seed plants and simultaneously highly relevant for the environment (pollinators, vector for nutrients, or organisms), people (food safety and…

Standard methods for pollen research

Posted on June 28, 2021June 28, 2022

“Bee pollen” is pollen collected from flowers by honey bees. It is used by the bees to nourish themselves, mainly by providing royal jelly and brood food, but it is…

Inferring Core Genome Phylogenies for Bacteria

Posted on May 28, 2021June 28, 2022

Due to the increasing availability of public bacterial genome data and cost efficiency of novel bacterial strain sequencing, phylogenetic analyses based on more than a single or few marker genes…

Open Science principles for accelerating trait-based science across the Tree of Life

Posted on November 28, 2020June 28, 2022

Synthesizing trait observations and knowledge across the Tree of Life remains a grand challenge for biodiversity science. Species traits are widely used in ecological and evolutionary science, and new data…

CRISPR/Cas 9-Mediated Mutations as a New Tool for Studying Taste in Honeybees

Posted on October 28, 2020June 28, 2022

Honeybees rely on nectar as their main source of carbohydrates. Sucrose, glucose, and fructose are the main components of plant nectars. Intriguingly, honeybees express only 3 putative sugar receptors (AmGr1,…

FENNEC: Functional Exploration of Natural Networks and Ecological Communities

Posted on November 1, 2017June 28, 2022

Assessment of species composition in ecological communities and networks is an important aspect of biodiversity research. Yet, for many ecological questions the ecological properties (traits) of organisms in a community…

meta-barcoding marker demultiplexing

Posted on October 23, 2017February 2, 2018

A single script! What it does: demultiplexing of metabarcoding data which consists of multiple markers. Data must have followed a library preparation/sequencing strategy which includes sequencing of the forward primers….

AliTV – Alignment Toolbox and Visualization

Posted on June 2, 2017June 28, 2022

The comparison of genome structures of organisms can yield interesting insights into evolutionary processes. In order to do the comparison, whole genome alignments are required. However, the interpretation of whole…
