Greenland, here we come!

Greenland, here we come!

Recently, Piotr's project entitled "Insect microbiome diversity and dynamics in the High Arctic" (INMAR) has been granted INTERACT Transnational Access to the Zackenberg Research Station (Greenland/Denmark)!

The funding will allow Piotr and Michał to visit Zackenberg Research Station (Zackenberg Valley, a High Arctic) and sample arthropods, plant material, soil, decaying organic matter across the site where insect diversity is understood particularly well, spanning the range of habitat types. We will use custom amplicon sequencing-based techniques to characterize the microbiomes in thousands of these samples and historical insect specimens collected within Zackenberg Valley since 2009 by a collaborating team led by Prof. Tomas Roslin. These efforts will provide a detailed and virtually unprecedented picture of the microbiome diversity within a complete natural community, and of its temporal dynamics. They will also provide a unique insight into microbial symbionts’ roles in insect adaptation to climate change.
