Our latest output is a practical guide to anyone considering running a citizen science project involving environmental DNA monitoring. Written by @laurens-colours.bsky.social and @lynseyrharper.bsky.social -- tinyurl.com/2cn9zdbx #DNA #CitizenScience #monitoring @ukdnawg.bsky.social

Citizen scientists are better at this #eDNA craic than we are 😆 But that's not the main point! A passion project of @hollybroadhurst.bsky.social, where she delves into their motivations and experiences of engaging in eDNA surveys theoryandpractice.citizenscienceassociation.org/articles/10....

Our review is finally here! We include all the terrestrial and semi-aquatic mammal-focused #eDNA and #iDNA studies available up to Jan 2025! It's amazing to see how far this field has come 🧬🦦

A very up-to-date review led by the brilliant @hollybroadhurst.bsky.social on the applications of #eDNA and iDNA for monitoring terrestrial and semi-aquatic mammals! The beginnings, the milestones, where we're heading. Water, soil, air, the inverts, all here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

🧬Have you used DNA metabarcoding in your research or work? We want to understand how this tool can help monitor neotropical biodiversity and gather insights into the experiences, challenges, and needs of those using it, including researchers and environmental managers. forms.gle/osk8T7gGyabq...

Survey on the use of DNA metabarcoding

In order to strengthen the standardization and use of DNA metabarcoding in Neotropical biodiversity monitoring, it is essential to understand how the results and analyses of this approach have been us...

A whopping 144 red deer genomes from across their range shows how markers with different modes of inheritance (e.g. the sex chromosomes) capture different signals from isolation in glacial refugia. The X chromosome is a useful marker in this context! academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

Red Deer Resequencing Reveals the Importance of Sex Chromosomes for Reconstructing Late Quaternary Events

Abstract. Sex chromosomes differ in their inheritance properties from autosomes and hence may encode complementary information about past demographic event
