Day 4 of our "Deep-sea Biodiversity and Applied Taxonomy Workshop" in Cape Town 🇿🇦 The participants gave some talks, visited the molecular labs at Iziko Museum, discussed about biodiversity datasets. Finally they continued to work on their sponge identifications.😅 @biodiversa.eu @dsbsoc.bsky.social

Day 3 of our "Deep-sea Biodiversity and Applied Taxonomy Workshop" in Cape Town 🇿🇦 Discussions about the importance of natural history collections followed by a visit of the rich Iziko Museum zoology collections, more than 500 000 specimens! 🤩 @biodiversa.eu @fao.org @dsbsoc.bsky.social

Day 2 of our "Deep-sea Biodiversity and Applied Taxonomy Workshop" in Cape Town 🇿🇦 The participants finally meet the #sponges from the Iziko Museum collection, all collected in South Africa 🪸 Lots of excitement and curiosity 😀 @biodiversa.eu @dsbsoc.bsky.social

A successful 1st day of our "Deep-sea Biodiversity and Applied Taxonomy Workshop" in Cape Town, South Africa 😀 An intro to #deep-sea biology and #sponges, and the first practical on Image-based identification using BIIGLE. @biodiversa.eu @dsbsoc.bsky.social
