Great article of our UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 environmental DNA expedition in Parc National du Banc d'Arguin - PNBA marine #WorldHeritage site in Mauriania, as part of our global eDNA citizen science campaign that sampled now over 20 sites across 17 countries. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Really neat to see this work: Water #eDNA with machine learning has comparable predictive ability as morpho-taxa approach for inferring site impactedness from the macroinvertebrate community. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… 1/n

Thank you Ecological Continuity Trust (ECT) for your continued support, we are so excited to be part of the Wellcome Sanger Institute BIOSCAN project & find out more about the biodiversity at our research woodland in central England. Thanks to Liam Crowley for collecting the invertebrate samples over many yrs!
