Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a powerful tool for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, enabling ...

A Curtin University study has revealed that a new method of capturing DNA could provide farmers with a valuable tool for boosting crop production—while also benefiting the environment. Researchers ...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an emerging and versatile tool in biodiversity research. With recent advances in field sampling techniques, this approach becomes increasingly suited for ...

Analysis of 59 datasets shows eDNA excels at detecting fish diversity but remains limited for biomass estimation ...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys are increasingly being used for biodiversity monitoring, principally because they are sensitive and can provide high resolution community composition data. Despite ...

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

Recent studies have demonstrated that aquatic animals including fishes shed their genetic material into the environment as metabolic waste, damaged tissue, or sloughed skin cells. Such genetic ...

All organisms shed traces of their biological material, which contains their unique DNA, into the environment. Researchers using a technique called metabarcoding to sequence this environmental DNA ...

This project will develop cost-effective and efficient means of assessing baselines and monitoring changes in deep-sea biodiversity by filling critical gaps in DNA barcode and specimen image databases ...

Just a few meters beneath the clear, blue waters of Okinawa, reef-building corals known as Scleractinia have quietly lived for centuries. Slowly, layer by layer, they have constructed intricate, rigid ...
