Excited to share that our paper has been recognized as a Top Viewed Article (2025) in Ecology and Evolution by Wiley. Grateful for the support from collaborators and the research community. It’s rewarding to see interest in advancing eDNA methodologies for ecological monitoring. #eDNA #qPCR #ddPCR

Great historical narrative on the emergence of airborne #eDNA methods: www.nature.com/articles/d41... I'm happy to have contributed to the field and mentioned in this feature.

New paper by Cristina Claver (@azti.bsky.social), published in @icesmarine.bsky.social JMS. We combine #eDNA and acoustic-trawl data in a Bayesian joint model to estimate biomass of the European anchovy in the Bay of Biscay. From the potential of eDNA to operational use 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/ices...

DNA in sediments tells a longer story! New research shows sedimentary #eDNA can persist up to 132 days & be up to 1800x more concentrated than in water. What do you think about this? tinyurl.com/mtr947tn #Genomics #Biodiversity #Conservation

Preprint 📃 We map 3D distributions of 12 US West Coast fish species using only eDNA. By combining qPCR and metabarcoding, we turn molecules into abundance maps—revealing biodiversity hotspots and a path to continental-scale monitoring. #eDNA #ecology www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Launching the @ednacollab.bsky.social DIYNAFLUOR Microgrant 2025! For this round of microgrants, we are offering materials and support for low-cost DIY fluorometers called DIYNAFLUOR, an “affordable DIY plug-and-play nucleic acid fluorometer” that can be used for eDNA quantification. Pls share!

🚨Paper published! Our manuscript on the differential decay rate of eDNA, erRNA and emRNA of Dolphin🐬 #eDNA is out! Is this the fastest turnaround for a manuscript ever? It certainly is for me. + Received 22 May 2025 Accepted 21 July 2025 Published 23 July 2025 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Working on some spatial questions with regard to #eDNA and wanted to pose a quick poll to the community, what’s the minimum eDNA dispersion scale in marine environment? Is it 100s of m, km, 10s of km, 100s of km?

My #DIYNAFLUOR presentation slides from the recent #seDNA2025 conference are now available for download. Check them out if you want a quick overview of where and how the DIYNAFLUOR could be used to QC Nanopore library preps in low-resource settings! 🧪🧬🦕 ednaconference.com.au/wp-content/u...

New paper alert! 🚨- My final PhD chapter is finally out! What happens to different eDNA components in water? 🌊💧 We tested particle size (small vs. large) and DNA molecule length (86 vs. 387 bp) in recirculating streams—and what we found might surprise you! 🧵👇 #eDNA #MolecularEcology 🔗 Read more:

The US has such an abundant #wildlife and mesmerizing #nature. It’s a buzz killer for spontaneity that you have to pay and reserve every time you visit but maybe that’s what kept this diversity from disappearing (?). 📍 #Olympic #National #Park

Anyone I know in this community will be joining the #AquaEcomics eDNA conference? Looking forward to present some quantitative #eDNA models!

📄NEW PAPER exploring #eDNA quantification methods! For #qPCR / #ddPCR end users aiming to enhance sensitivity & precision in detecting low eDNA quantities – a common challenge in #MarineEcology surveys. Bonus: An alternative framework for LoD & LoQ. doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

This is sooo cool!

We have an open postdoc position in the Quantitative Ecosystem Dynamics lab at UC Berkeley: forms.gle/Nx1EHYiCv3yR... in the areas of ecohydrology, land-atmosphere interactions, and global change ecology. Please spread the word!

We have figured out a way to quantify eDNA metabarcoding data just like trawls do for estimating 🐟 abundance. It's not the easiest paper to digest but I will be submitting an R package for automating the model, then it should be plug&play. Anyone interested to collab? #eDNA #FisheriesManagement

At University of Washington we’re seeking a postdoc to advance eDNA research in collaboration with NOAA. Help develop quantitative methods and foster national partnerships in marine conservation science. Start March 2025. apply.interfolio.com/140796 #PostdocJobs #MarineConservation

Exciting postdoc opportunity to join our team at the University of Washington! We’re looking for a researcher to advance eDNA and survey data integration for marine conservation with UW and NOAA NWFSC. Apply now apply.interfolio.com/140795 #PostdocJobs #MarineScience

Want to quantify eDNA metabarcoding for fish abundance like trawls do? Read our research on how linking eDNA with trawl catch can enable managers to estimate 🐟 abundance using eDNA alone. #eDNA #FisheriesManagement doi.org/10.1093/ices...

Should we continue using #eDNA as Presence/Absence or should we move one step further and treat it somewhat quantitatively? Follow the discussion on our newly published article doi.org/10.1002/edn3...
