Next Generation Biodiversity Monitoring Symposium
(University of Cyprus, Nicosia, 11th-14th of November 2019)

SYMPOSIUM TITLE
Genomic-based biodiversity measurement:
toward a unified protocol for global monitoring
This symposium will bring together expertise that spans challenging taxonomic groups and novel genomic-based approaches for biodiversity measurement. The focus of the symposium will be the design of a modular-based protocol package covering sample design, sample collection, and sample processing (including the wet-lab sample handling and molecular pipelines) across relevant different environments and taxonomic groups. The following questions regarding the implementation of Genomic Observatories (GOs) will be addressed:
  1. What are the arguments for long-term biomonitoring to be an integral core function of GOs for global monitoring of temporal biodiversity trends?
  2. What fundamental data should come from a GO and which are the best molecular tools-protocols needed to provide these data?
  3. How should the core module of biodiversity sampling-protocols be defined to provide self-sufficiency of each GO to get results on local biodiversity trends while maximising the comparability of data across GOs?
  4. What synergies can be achieved by the ‘site-based’ sampling across GOs for the study of regional/global patterns?
