Can #eDNA improve early detection of marine invasive species?
A global review by CBMA/IB-S/ARNET researchers Sofia Duarte & Filipe Costa highlights eDNA for coastal biosecurity, biodiversity monitoring and early warning.
π¨OPPORTUNITY ALERT: Need a PCR setup for your #eDNA research?
The eDNA Collaborative is offering a new round of microgrants, and successful applicants will receive a Bento Lab Pro to help support sample prep, PCR and gel electrophoresis.
Deadline: 9 October 2026

This small #eDNA sampler is making a BIG impact! Launched only a year ago, it's already enabled park rangers, researchers, government and citizen scientists in Canada, the US, Australia, and the EU to collect reliable samples in very remote freshwater sites and marine environments.
It's great to be here withy colleagues from @azti.bsky.social in pretty, sunny Ljubljana, first time for me to Aquaculture Europe.
Don't miss our talk on #eDNA based biomonitoring, E Villarino, 9.15 Thursday. Mine was this morning. Sorry.. π
I'm back ^^

A particularly exciting milestone: this is the first first-author paper for our PhD student @vprins.bsky.social. Congratulations, Victoria β and everyone who helped make #FunAqua happen! π
β»οΈThe eDNAqua-Plan Sustainability Plan is here!
It outlines how our proposed vision could be sustained and governed.

While the project may be concluding, our commitment to advancing #eDNA is just beginning!
#Biodiversity #Sustainability
New study from #Belgium shows how hydrological data can improve #eDNA-based estimates of fish abundance and biomass in rivers. The findings highlight the potential of eDNA for quantitative #freshwater biodiversity monitoring.
We greet and congratulate #AnnaBenvenuto for matching her big #PhD deadline and for bringing us much joy and fun during her months in Liverpool! See you in 2027!

A new #eDNA study of a Siberian bog finds #fungal diversity isn't concentrated in peat, as assumed - plant litter is richest, roots most specialized. Total richness (~11,500 SH) vastly exceeds the 208 species found by traditional sporocarp surveys: doi.org/10.3897/mbmg...
Innovative #eDNA sampling technologies are advancing marine #biodiversity monitoring.
By collecting filtered samples from a small boat, researchers and community scientists can now do more in less time.
