Dear Taxon-Omics members,
Save the date for the Taxon-Omics Annual Meeting! It will take place on 25 September 2025 from 2-4pm via Zoom.
We would be delighted if not only members of ongoing projects, but also all members of funding phase II who have already completed their projects would attend this meeting.
Further information and registration will follow soon.
We are happy to announce the third session of our seminar series on Reticulate Evolution.
This session will be hosted by Christoph Oberprieler (University of Regensburg) on the 09.07.2025, 5 - 7 pm (CET).
We are very pleased to announce Daniel S. Brooks (University of Wuppertal) and Andrej Spiridonov (Vilnius University) as speakers of this session.
Daniel S. Brooks: The Persistence of Levels of Organization in Biological Thought
Andrej Spiridonov: The scaling picture of symbiosis and co-evolution: Bretskyan hierarchy of holobionts and geobiomes
All interested Taxon-OMICS and Reticulate Evolution affiliated scientists are welcome to attend.
For questions or the link to the Zoom session, please contact tina.niemann@uni-hamburg.de.
As a reminder, the meeting will take place bimonthly on Wednesdays, 5 - 7 pm (CET) via Zoom. At each of these meeting we will be inviting two speakers with a presentation of 30 min each to talk about various aspects of reticulate evolution.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a MSc degree, fluency in English, an interest in biogeography and a relevant background in plant systematics and evolution. Experience with molecular phylogenetic and/or evolutionary analyses (e.g. ancestral trait or biogeographic reconstructions) is essential. Previous experience with field work, lab work, morphology analysis methods or chemical/metabolomic analyses, or advanced bioinformatic skills will also be viewed favourably.
As SPP 1991: TaxonOMICS draws to a close after six fruitful years, the Steering Committee wanted to fulfill its final promise — to ensure that the knowledge gained during the programme will continue to be used to its full potential long after the programme has ended. Thus, the idea of the TaxonOMICS Summer School was born…

The Nagoya protocol provides a comprehensive international framework on access, benefit-sharing and compliance since 2014. As academic researchers, the permission process can be challenging. To support compliance with Nagoya regulations, Taxon-omics is holding a cooperative hands-on workshop for participants to learn best practices and gain expert guidance.
The workshop will deliver a general introduction to Research Data Management (RDM) in the biological sciences with particular focus on Data Management Plans (DMPs). Specifically, we will cover the essentials of a good DMP, its intended use and content, including the handling (e.g., archival and publication) of different data types. The workshop will include a demonstration of the GFBio Tool for DMP preparation (www.gfbio.org/dmpt) and an introduction to the GFBio service for DMP support. The participants will have the chance to start writing their own DMP and pose questions to GFBio and NFDI data management experts.
