🧬🌊River monitoring is key in making good decisions. There are some real challenges to river health in Aotearoa New Zealand. The development of eDNA tools can help a lot in this area. Check out our ‘Conversation’ piece on the TICI tool just published. 🧬🌊theconversation.com/we-need-faster…

Reptiles and #eDNA don't often mix, but mahsa-mousavi and partners have shown that the elusive Pilbara Olive Python can be detected from rock pools using eDNA. Excellent collaboration between TrEnD Lab, eDNAfrontiers, consultants and industry #eDGES

Forget mammoths, it’s “time for ancient DNA to sweat the small stuff”. Michael Bunce’s brilliant perspective piece in Molecular Ecology reminds us that big stories are hiding in tiny critters onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.111…

DNA on the fly! Check it out…… lots of endangered Australian natives and invasive species that are impacting biodiversity. Nice work Kristen Fernandes et al.

Want to travel all around Australia for 3 years and check out amazing ecosystems & marine species - including whales? Then check out Tina Berry's latest paper which uses temporal and spatial eDNA. thanks to Integrated Marine Observing System TrEnD Lab and CSIRO paper is at: doi.org/10.1111/ddi.13…

Excellent explainer on genome sequencing!

Super important work building on Philip Francis Thomsen ‘s 2019 work. Figuring out who is pollenating who is vital to managing ecosystems with a holistic lens. We need much more work in this area.

New Curtin University-led #research reveals the first eDNA study to detect mammal, insect, and bird #DNA on flowers! PhD candidate Josh Newton said the findings will help monitor plant-animal interactions.🐦🌺 Bill Bateman Associate Professor Paul Nevill bit.ly/3YB6RkN

Some ancient DNA projects fight hard to reveal their stories - this was a tough one to crack. This 🥚-cellent collaboration from TrEnD Lab on elephant birds was a pleasure to work on, led by an amazing PhD student (now CSIRO postdoc) Alicia Grealy:👇 theconversation.com/extinct-elepha…

The OHA Symposium Organising Committee have just released the preliminary programme for our symposium next month. #OneHealthNZ #OHA2022 onehealth.org.nz/symposium-2022/

#Genomics insight report no.26 is out‼️ 728 #COVID19 genomes across Aotearoa. ESR genomics & #wastewater show BA.5 remains dominant across the Motu. We’re finding more BQ.1.1 & XBB cases. Thanks to all who contribute to surveillance👏
