Researchers at Aarhus University have demonstrated that a simple adjustment to water filtration methods can dramatically ...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) and metabarcoding are transforming biodiversity monitoring by enabling rapid, non-invasive assessments of community composition ...

A new paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to analyze fish and zooplankton communities. The study found that the movement of ...

Curtin researchers have uncovered new evidence of western pygmy possums interacting with native flowers, providing the first eDNA study to simultaneously detect mammal, insect and bird DNA on flowers.

In times of exacerbating biodiversity loss, reliable data on species occurrence are essential. Environmental DNA (eDNA) - DNA released from organisms into the water - is increasingly used to detect ...

For the first time, researchers develop a metabarcoding technology for brittle stars. Japanese scientists, led by Dr Masanori Okanishi of the Hiroshima Shudo University and the University of Tokyo, ...

Preserving strips of native vegetation beside avocado orchards gives insects a buffet of wild pollen when blossoms are scarce, doubling their plant menu and boosting their resilience. Using ...

A year-long study of New York’s East River is making the case for environmental DNA (eDNA) as a low-cost monitoring method ...

New York City’s East River has made quite the comeback since its days as a sewage dumping ground—and sequencing the ...
