New review in Trends in Parasitology of #eDNA / #eRNA approaches to pathogen discovery, surveillance, early warning of disease, impact, and investigating their lifecycles and ecology. Access it here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gY%7Ew5Eb1x…

Interesting new #COI #metabarcoding #eDNA reference database tool here, collating reference data from #NCBI and #BOLD databases from people.imbe.fr/~emeglecz/inde… published in Molecular Ecology Resources doi.org/10.1111/1755-0…

60 mock insect communities; 30h of lysis; a Bayesian model to estimate species abundances... This little jewel is polished and out! Insect Biome Atlas Piotr Łukasik besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20…

The power of eDNA to help monitor rare and elusive species gets stronger all the time. Super interesting new paper from my colleague Elena Valsecchi on monitoring monk seal presence across their range in the western and central Mediterranean doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

The Living Norway & GBIF Norway Colloquium kicks off two weeks from today and to celebrate, we're highlighting a few of our fantastic invited speakers each day this week. Follow this thread for speaker announcements throughout the week & register now to join us!

Out now: Quantifying #biodiversity using #eDNA from #water bodies: #General #principles & recommendations for #sampling designs. How to best sample? how much #volume? What to consider /w respect to #sequencing depth and general sampling principles? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… 🧵1/3

Now out in Nature Ecology & Evolution: The same 20 insect families make up over 50% of species and specimens in Malaise samples; regardless of continent, climate, or habitat. Yet, most are neglected dark taxa. Time for change! doi.org/10.1038/s41559…

DNA-derived data needs to be discoverable through biodiversity data platforms. This guide will teach you the principles and approaches of exposing “sequences with dates and coordinates” in the context of broader biodiversity data. docs.gbif.org/publishing-dna… Frode Fossoy GBIF @biodiversity.social/@gbif

What if conservation wasn't about saving selected rare species? What if conservation was about creating complex, resilient ecosystems?

Why haven't we resolved the Tree of Life? In a NEW publication out in Nature Reviews Genetics, we discuss #biological and analytical factors contributing to #incongruence in the #phylogenomic era and synthesize current best practices for addressing them. 🔗: nature.com/articles/s4157…
