20.500.12556/DiRROS-19789 DNAqua-Net developing new genetic tools for bioassessment and monitoring of aquatic ecosystems in Europe The protection, preservation and restoration of aquatic ecosystems and their functions are of global importance. For European states it became legally binding mainly through the EU-Water Framework Directive (WFD). In order to assess the ecological status of a given water body, aquatic biodiversity data are obtained and compared to a reference water body. The quantified mismatch obtained determines the extent of potential management actions. The current approach to biodiversity assessment is based on morpho-taxonomy. This approach has many drawbacks such as being time consuming, limited in temporal and spatial resolution, and error-prone due to the varying individual taxonomic expertise of the analysts. Novel genomic tools can overcome many of the aforementioned problems and could complement or even replace traditional bioassessment. Yet, a plethora of approaches are independently developed in different institutions, thereby hampering any concerted routine application. The goal of this Action is to nucleate a group of researchers across disciplines with the task to identify gold-standard genomic tools and novel eco-genomic indices for routine application in biodiversity assessments of European fresh- and marine water bodies. Furthermore, DNAqua-Net will provide a platform for training of the next generation of European researchers preparing them for the new technologies. Jointly with water managers, politicians, and other stakeholders, the group will develop a conceptual framework for the standard application of eco-genomic tools as part of legally binding assessments. aquatic ecosystems biodiversity monitoring genomic tools true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Neznano 2024-07-25 04:13:54 2024-07-25 17:57:18 2024-07-26 04:28:26 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2016 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 7. 12. 2016; str. 1-24 Vol. 2 2016 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2016-11-29 574.5 2367-7163 10.3897/rio.2.e11321 4141135 RAZ_Leese_Florian_2016.pdf RAZ_Leese_Florian_2016.pdf 1 F2F4F6371AF8BFB4A392345070650182 79fa2c1c33bc05b0c33828af1d82339dd36dbdc9fa6cc0117b77d95ccdd38a27 06f74061-4a8e-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=27553 https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.2.e11321 0 f589a90e-4a8d-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=27552 Nacionalni inštitut za biologijo 0 0 0
