This is for example relevant for the monitoring of non-native species. A report in an Austrian newspaper is summarizing our work and possible applications.

Alle Organismen hinterlassen DNA-Spuren in der Umwelt. Diese Umwelt-DNA (eDNA) kann extrahiert werden um die Biodiversität zu erfassen. Bericht in der Radio […]
Biodiversity is typically peaking at mid-altitudes. Scientists have long struggled to explain why this is the case. In a study in PNAS, […]
