PAPER ACCEPTED: Metabarcoding advances agricultural invertebrate biomonitoring by enhancing resolution, increasing throughput, and facilitating network inference. Led by Ben Hawthorne as part of an IAFRI studentship Fera Sciences at Newcastle AFEntomology

“Are you wearing the…”

The DNA binding domain shoes? Yeah, I am.

📢Ento Klaxon! 📢We are offering places for a Natural Environment Research Council funded entomology skills course Harper Adams University with Entomology @ Harper Adams University in July. Details can be found here: tinyurl.com/3n8uumvp

Thank you everyone who completed our #eDNA survey! Out now!🚨👀
We present the results inc. #biomonitoring reference database, primers, quantification, DNA behaviour, sample design!
What is the next chapter of eDNA?

Our team at Agriculture Victoria
Made a video to explain how we use non-destructive insect #metabarcoding 🧬🔬 to rapidly identify any potential biosecurity threats 🪰 as well as the presence of any #beneficial #insect population 🦋

Have a look! 👀
