Welp… the Shogren Lab is looking for a PhD student for a 5-yr NSF project on eDNA transport at NEON wadeable streams! Start date in January or August 2025 😊 Reach out via email if interested!

🧬💻 Our user-friendly tool for primer selection (SNIPe) & comprehensive evaluation (in silico,mocks,aquaria,💧natural systems) of 14 metabarcoding primer pairs now published: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed… Try SNIPe's new features here🤓: snipe.dlougheed.com #eDNA #metabarcoding

We have had a lot of requests lately for guidelines to planning #eDNA field campaigns. Looking for some resources from the community for best practices and considerations for study design!! Please drop links here or email us at [email protected]. Thanks! 🎆

Looking forward to sharing my work under #iTrackDNA project and Liber Ero Fellows program. Extremely excited to meet awesome people behind The eDNA Collaborative and learn about their different initiatives! UVic Science

Your european colleagues when you try following up with them on a critical project due two weeks ago

Early bird registration for #ACCB2024 is now open! It will take place in Moshi, Tanzania, from October 19-21, 2024. Join us as we celebrate the African conservation frontliners: our rangers, our local communities! conbio.org/mini-sites/acc…

At Naturalis we want to accelerate the monitoring of species. This will require cutting edge research in #biodiversity and in #datascience and #AI as well. Together with Leiden Computer Science we are recruiting an assistant professor in computational biodiversity: universiteitleiden.nl/vacatures/2024…

If you missed the seminar yesterday, you can watch the recording here: youtu.be/aGxh-RPAVL0 Louie Lopez Thank you for all who joined us in person and on Zoom! #eDNA

Now published in Molecular Ecology resources: Enhancing #metabarcording efficiency and ecological insights through integrated taxonomy and DNA reference barcoding: a case study on #beach #meiofauna Thanks to all co-authors! doi.org/10.1111/1755-0…

For anyone interested in using eDNA to detect all forms of life, here’s a new article & webtool by Tournayre et al. (2024) to help you select the optimal number of primers needed for particular taxon groups, & also show which species may be missed if you leave any out! 👇 The

Thank you Louie Lopez for such a fun filled and #eDNA science filled week!! Come back again and visit us soon!!

Our airborne #eDNA review is online! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…

🚀 Just rolled out BOLDigger2 v2.1.1! Data downloads are now more stable and speed is boosted by ~10x. Excited for what’s next with BOLDv5! Check it out here: github.com/DominikBuchner… #BOLDigger2 #SoftwareUpdate #BOLDv5

Great infographic of the impacts of invasive species 🌱👽

Anthony Ricciardi stresses in his keynote speech Neobiota 2024 inbLisbon the importance of identifying vectors and patways aiming at preventing biological invasion, actively involving stakeholders, increasing ecosystems resilience.

1/4 I am super happy to share the link to our new preprint presenting our novel Extinction Potential Metric (EPM), assessing the ecological impacts of invasive species as the number of native species that are expected to go extinct within 50 years. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
