💨Air doesn't just carry DNA—it carries location information. We show that simple wind data can help pinpoint where vertebrate airborne eDNA comes from, bringing us closer to biomonitoring from the air with spatial precision! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #eDNA #Conservation #congen

New in @science.org ‼️ In the most comprehensive study to date, we show that wildlife trade is driving animal-to-human zoonotic spillover at a planetary scale, with +1 spillover per host every 10 years. Live animal markets and illegal trade pose even greater risks. 🔓 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🧬 My haplotype paper is out! We show that deviations between within-sample and population-level haplotype frequencies can be used to estimate how many individuals contributed to an eDNA sample. No tissue references needed, just metabarcoding data and some population genetics. #eDNA #PopGen
