DNA barcoding: unraveling biotic interactions in community ecology II

My Session Status

What:
Session
When:
9:30 AM, Wednesday 4 Sep 2024 (1 hour 30 minutes)
Where:
Estação das Docas - Theater 1
This session will delve into the pivotal role of DNA barcoding in elucidating species interactions that form the backbone of ecosystem structures. We will examine antagonistic relationships such as predation and parasitism, mutualistic relationships including seed dispersal and pollination, as well as neutral interactions like commensalism. By linking biodiversity inventories to functional roles within the environment, DNA barcoding offers profound insights through both direct observation and the analysis of trace materials, such as eDNA left on flowers by pollinators or tissue fragments in faeces. Since its inception, DNA barcoding has uncovered novel behaviors and unexpected ecological adaptability. Attendees will explore the latest technologies and research advancements in biotic interactions and community ecology, highlighting the transformative impact of DNA barcoding on our understanding of ecological dynamics.
