First day for me today at "the Hutton" in Aberdeen, Scotland!

I will conduct my research on alpine soil fauna here for the next five months and check out what "beasties" we can find in the remote and astonishing Scottish Highlands. 🕷️🪲🪱

Thanks to The James Hutton Institute for hosting me, and a big thank you for the warm welcoming today. 🤗

YEAH! 🎉
Today #BEN-EAF kick-offs as collaboration of Eurac Research, South Tyrol (#AlpSoil_Lab) and the James Hutton Institute (#EnB group), Scotland.

We will identify alpine #SoilFauna in the Highlands using traditional and modern #eDNA methods.

Stay tuned!

There are still some #GoodNews out there 🥳

It is a pleasure to accept your manuscript entitled "Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline" in its current form for publication in Biological Reviews.

Details and links will follow soon.
Thanks to everyone who made this possible, and have a Happy Easter holiday ✌️
