Introduction
I am currently a PhD student investigating chromosomal inversions in the seaweed fly Coelopa frigida. In the past (and currently to some extent), I have worked in the field of marine molecular ecology using Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures and DNA metabarcoding / shot-gun metagenomics to study coral reefs and temperate marine ecosystems in regard to biodiversity, inter-species networks, biogeochemistry, (meta)phylogeography, and non-indigenous species.

This workflow details how COI and 18S rRNA gene raw amplicon sequencing data from the European ARMS programme (ARMS-MBON) can be processed bioinformatically to generate read count and taxonomy tables of molecular operational taxonomic units (mOTUs) for the identification of (marine) non-indigenuous species (NIS). However, the end products may also...
Understanding how coral reefs respond to disturbances is fundamental to assessing their resistance and resilience, particularly in the context of climate change. Due to the escalating frequency and intensity of coral bleaching events, it is essential to evaluate spatio-temporal responses of coral reef communities to disentangle the mechanisms under...
Molecular methods such as DNA/eDNA metabarcoding have emerged as useful tools to document biodiversity of complex communities over large spatio-temporal scales. We established an international Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (ARMS-MBON) combining standardised sampling using autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) with metabarcoding for...
Främmande arter som bedöms som invasiva utgör ett hot mot den inhemska biologiska mångfalden och kan också ha hälsoeffekter och få stora ekonomiska konsekvenser. När det gäller akvatiska arter är sjöfarten en viktig vektor för introduktionen av främmande arter genom påväxt på skrov och sjökistor, och via barlastvattnet. Därför är stora kommersiella...
The increasing prevalence of non-indigenous species (NIS) in marine ecosystems poses significant challenges for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management. Advances in molecular techniques enable early detection and long-term monitoring of such taxa, especially when coupled with spatio-temporally wide-scaled sampling by networks such as the...
Marine biodiversity is declining worldwide, making biological monitoring a crucial resource for the provision of scientific data. Molecular methods, such as DNA metabarcoding, are particularly useful to document biodiversity over larger spatial and temporal scales and in habitats which are otherwise difficult to monitor. In the marine environment,...
To understand global shifting trends in marine biodiversity it is essential to apply cost-efficient biomonitoring approaches in a coordinated and standardized manner, to generate comparable data across geographical regions and countries. In this context, DNA metabarcoding is particularly useful to document biodiversity over larger spatiotemporal sc...
The methodology for detecting of marine invasive alien species always needs to be
evaluated and improved for a more efficient surveillance system for early warning.
Novel methods have been tested in the Swedish part of the North Sea.
Sweden has a relatively new monitoring on marine non-indigenous in place which is based on principles from the EU Ma...
Many coastal ecosystems, such as coral reefs and seagrass meadows, currently experience overgrowth by fleshy algae due to the interplay of local and global stressors. This is usually accompanied by strong decreases in habitat complexity and biodiversity. Recently, persistent, mat-forming fleshy red algae, previously described for the Black Sea and...

Corals from the Gulf of Aqaba (northern Red Sea) are resilient to high temperatures and therefore this region is regarded as globally important for reef conservation. However, long-term dynamics of coral reef assemblages from the Gulf of Aqaba remain largely understudied. In this study, we analysed the change in benthic, fish and invertebrate assem...
