An exciting new partnership! @Wilderlab NZ and @eDNAFrontiers | Curtin University have teamed up to expand #eDNA #biomonitoring services. Now even more ways to ‘eDNA it’ #freshwater #marine #landscapes #everywhere 🧬🌏

Wanted: #eDNA Data and Collaborators!#RT #Global #meta-analysis to assess🐟#biodiversity patterns. We search #collaborators providing #fish #eDNA #datasets If interested in joining Florian Altermatt @florianaltermatt.bsky.social, Yan Zhang, Loïc Pellissier & #XiaoweiZhang, read on & contact us! 🧵1/3

Good times talking #eDNA, clams, Covid and tech with Prime Minister Chris Hipkins at the Fieldays!

Exploring the depth and breadth of the genomics toolbox during the COVID-19 pandemic: insights from Aotearoa New Zealand By Michael Bunce @Jemma_Geoghegan David Winter @Joepdl Dr Siouxsie Wiles bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Huge and heartfelt thanks to Blue World for yet another year of support to keep our in Marine Biodiversity in Southern Sydney Harbour ticking along with Wilderlab eDNA. So many more species to discover and protect in the Harbour. All the more reason to Save Parsley Bay

Interesting paper from Joseph DiBattista @DeBrauwerM Michael Bunce Shaun Wilkinson 🧬

Environmental DNA reveals the hidden biological diversity of the Ross sea. Lovely work by Gert-Jan Jeunen and the team showing the power of eDNA approaches to help us better understand some of the more remote parts of the globe. Check it out here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

There are floofs outside our window, which may cause some delays in sample processing. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Please come out to Parsley Bay Reserve and learn about cutting-edge research led and communicated by our next generation of NSW Marine Scientists. 🗓️Saturday 20th Jan, 2024 📷9:30AM - 11:00AM ☕️Parsley Bay Cafe Kiosk eventbrite.com.au/e/sydney-harbo…

NZ's rivers are in a perilous state, but a new index based on environmental DNA could help detect ecological changes quicker. It's also more comprehensive + cheaper than traditional ecological surveys, write Michael Bunce (University of Otago) + Simon Jarman (Curtin University). theconversation.com/we-need-faster…

A superb article from Michael Bunce and Simon Jarman about how new eDNA technologies are transforming river health monitoring in Aotearoa New Zealand

Check this for how NZ is managing river health, and the paper underpinning it. Simple to use #eDNA tool for whole ecosystem monitoring. Watch this space for replications in Aust 😉🧬⏲️@curtin_trend

We are advertising a funded MSc project The University of Waikato 🎓 on the importance of stream-wetland refuges for kōaro populations in Lake Ōkāreka. This project involves collaborators from Te Arawa Lakes Trust, NIWA, and Ian Kusabs See more details here: tinyurl.com/mrycdbjd

To all my new colleagues and friends, please join us on May 2 at 6 pm at the Ship Inn in Brisbane for the AMSA SEQ AGM. People power sprinkled with genetic breadcrumbs will feature prominently in my talk! Register here: bit.ly/SEQAGM24 Or see flyer for QR code

"Tree of Life" metabarcoding boosted our knowledge on the spatial distribution of marine biodiversity in bustling Sydney Harbour. We also suggest this can be used to expand #eDNA monitoring in other urbanized estuaries or Sydney Harbour in future. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
