Thinking about submitting that beautiful manuscript on #eDNA applications in #biomonitoring & #conservation, but you aren't sure where? Why not consider this collection in @springernature.com Discover Conservation that Eva Aylagas, John Pearman & I are editing? link.springer.com/collections/...

Super happy our paper on #eDNA #metabarcoding of North Sea fish using @nanoporetech.com sequencing is finally published in Molecular Ecology Resources: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Investigating the dynamics of the aquatic community in Oslofjord through time series analysis of eDNA #eDNA #environmentalDNA www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Latest pre-print led by Tim Noyes comparing #eDNA and BRUVs for monitoring #fish biodiversity in a subtropical coral reef. Combining methods added 90 species that use Bermuda's mesophotic coral ecosystem! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @blancobercial.bsky.social @marianilab.bsky.social

For all those interested in environmental DNA, there is still time to register for the 2nd Australian & New Zealand Environmental DNA Conference! Join us from 18 - 21 February at Shed 6, Wellington New Zealand. ednaconference.com.au #eDNA @buncedna.bsky.social @joey-squishfish.bsky.social

Said it before & I’ll say it again: zoos offer a great opp for proof-of-concept studies, from in silico to ex situ validation that is critical for #eDNA & #conservation work. Proud of this, with MSc @junglejeroen.bsky.social in lead. #invasivesoecies link.springer.com/article/10.1...

PhD opportunity in #eDNA

A Preprint for our ~$40 USD, open source, 3D printed DNA Fluorometer, the #DIYNAFLUOR, has just been posted to bioRxiv outlining its performance and applications for #eDNA analysis!🦕🧪🧬 A big thanks to all the co-authors! Preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Git tinyurl.com/yfh33dsx #science

Job alert ‼️

Tired of NMDS and other ordinations methods to represent your #eDNA metabarcoding data, consider using this approach: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I’ll just casually drop this eDNA starter pack in the #conservation feed in case anyone is looking for their methodology tribe. go.bsky.app/U2vgV5Q

New Preprint: here we developed a quick and easy terrestrial #eDNA approach for tracking invasive iguanas. Importantly it allows for amplifying bi-allelic SNPs, critical for monitoring potential hybridization! More on that front soon 😉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

***Help Us Enhance Training in Biomolecular and eDNA Research!*** The OBON Capacity Development Working Group is committed to supporting the professional growth of researchers in the field of marine biomolecular and #eDNA research. Take the survey: mailchi.mp/1e52091cfd81...

I'm recruiting! I'm looking for a motivated postdoctoral scientist to join my new team at SCELSE in Singapore. The role will explore various aspects of how #eDNA is produced and utilised in #Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. #Microsky #phagesky #Science ntu.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/Careers/job/...

Collecting DNA from the environment (environmental DNA, eDNA) is a useful method for tracking invasive species. Researchers monitored yard waste destined to be shipped from Vancouver BC to Washington State and found evidence of 3 invasive insect pests. 🍂 🧪 🌎 🪲 🪳 academic.oup.com/jee/article/...

Setting up some #eDNA controls with the metaprobe in the Galway Atlantaquaria for our work on monitoring Irish elasmobranchs

Any other #eDNA folks going to AquaEcOmics in March? Who am I having beers with? 😁
