With eDNA metabarcoding, researchers read DNA traces from soil, water, or even air as if they were barcodes. This allows them to discover which plants are or were present, even when they are invisible ...

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, ...

Tree-climbing, cranes, chemical knockdown—collecting samples from the canopies used to be very time-consuming. Scientists from the UDE's working group "Aquatic Ecosystem Research" led by Prof. Dr.

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 ...

In recent years, the global environment has been grappling with the devastating consequences of anthropogenic stressors, resulting in the dramatic depletion of numerous species and habitats across the ...

Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) used tools of genetics research ...
