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 ...

Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge sits at the intersection of the Cayuga and Black Lakes. It's connected by the Clyde River ...

Researchers found that DNA metabarcoding is an effective tool for detection of a broad range of biodiversity in water samples compared to traditional morphological identification methods. The ability ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Environmental DNA Expeditions is a global, citizen science initiative that will help measure marine biodiversity, and the impacts climate change might have on the distribution patterns of marine life, ...
