@oceandiagnostics.bsky.socialInnovative #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.

@mbmg.pensoft.net🐋🧬Researchers tested #eDNA extraction methods, compared two DNA polymerases, and built MVeM - an open-source #bioinformatics pipeline - for monitoring marine vertebrates. Direct filter extraction beat bead-beating; polymerase choice depended on target group.

@hollybik.bsky.socialThis problem is so pervasive in all rRNA databases - we wrote a whole paper on this too, showing that fixing taxonomy strings is the single best thing you can do to improve taxonomy assignments for #eDNA ASVs onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... #MicroSky
@wendelvandersluis.bsky.social💧 Tiny creatures. Big ecosystem impact.
Aquatic #Macroinvertebrates are vital to #Freshwater #Ecosystems, but much remains unknown. 🔬

@delwynd.bsky.socialLooks like #eDNA testing in waterways is going to be used around #Auckland, as the weather warms up, to try and pick up any evidence of #Yellow-LeggedHornets.
The hornets are active now in the N hemisphere so they'll also be looking at what works there.

@epcn.bsky.socialHow much biodiversity can #urban_ponds hold?
New study combined #eDNA #metabarcoding with #community_science to explore #pond #biodiversity! Sampling revealed extensive diversity across multiple groups, highlighting ponds as important urban biodiversity refuges.

@bento.bioWe recently caught up with Tunisian researcher & educator @nabilamor.bsky.social to hear how his work has progressed since we first shared his research on the Arabian leopard. He's been busy developing field DNA extraction methods, airborne #eDNA & more!
