Rate My Professor Philip Thomsen

Thomsen has produced 81 research outputs, comprising 57 journal articles among others. Prominent publications include 'Environmental DNA–An emerging tool in conservation for monitoring past and present biodiversity' (Biological Conservation, 2015), 'Monitoring endangered freshwater biodiversity using environmental DNA' (Molecular Ecology, 2012), 'Next-generation monitoring of aquatic biodiversity using environmental DNA metabarcoding' (Molecular Ecology, 2016), and 'Detection of a diverse marine fish fauna using environmental DNA from seawater samples' (PLoS ONE, 2012). Recent works feature 'The Microflora Danica atlas of Danish environmental microbiomes' (Nature, 2026) and 'Recent Demographic History Inferred From Allele Frequency Spectra: Evaluation by Simulations and Insights From Pool Sequencing of Wild Bees' (Molecular Ecology, 2026). With over 16,000 citations, his pioneering eDNA methodologies have profoundly influenced conservation biology by enabling non-invasive detection and monitoring of biodiversity. He contributed to projects such as population monitoring of wolves in Denmark from 2017 to 2021.
