DNA detected biodiversity in cryptic habitats – phylogenetic diversity
Phylogenetic diversity indices evaluate biological communities from the perspective of the evolutionary interrelationship between species, and thus, help to maximise taxonomic, genetic, or functional diversity conservation effectiveness.

The main consideration when creating the BioDT technical platform was enabling the developed digital twins (DT) deployable at different sites, making their integration simple, provisioning well-defined APIs, and supporting digital twin development.
... Read moreBiodiversity Digital Twin: General Project Vision
The Biodiversity Digital Twin (BioDT) project brings together experts in high-performance computing, ecology and artificial intelligence to develop prototype digital twins (DT) that push the limits of predictive biodiversity modeling.
Objectives
Honey bee performance in Germany - towards a Digital Twin prototype
Honey bees (apis mellifera) provide important services by producing honey and pollinating commercial crops but also a wide range of wild flowers.
... Read moreInvasive alien species Digital Twin (IAS-DT)
Invasive alien species (IAS) negatively affect biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and human well-being. The impacts of IAS will likely exacerbate in the future due to new species introductions and the synergy with other drivers of global change.
... Read moreGrassland Biodiversity Dynamics
While productivity is typically the focus of grassland site management, plant biodiversity is another important characteristic of grasslands, which does not necessarily coincide with high productivity.
... Read moreDigital twin linking cultural ecosystem services of recreational potential and biodiversity
The use case will focus on the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland initially as a proof-of-concept study, we aim to consider other areas and different species in future work.
