sCom – Advancing inference for eDNA and other novel, high-throughput community data
First meeting: 11.-15.10.2021
iDiv member:
Jon Chase
Duarte Viana

Project Summary:
In recent years, two major innovations have occurred in community ecology. The first is the emergence of high-throughput methods (e.g. eDNA, acoustic monitoring) for rapidly creating large community assessments. The second is new statistical methods to analyze such datasets. sCom will bring together statistical experts and producers of big datasets to develop and validate these methods, to understand the environmental and biological factors that govern biodiversity patterns at the community scale, and ultimately to better conserve and manage nature.
