Looking to learn more about #eDNA? Join us Wednesday for this webinar on real-world applications and how and where the tech fits within broader environmental assessment and monitoring frameworks. https://esa.org/career-development/professional-development-from-esa/#edna

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!

Join the conversation on Marine Ecology here. Topics on monitoring, assessment, protection, conservation, restoration and management go.bsky.app/4PTX62K

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...
