@saltwaterpatrick.bsky.socialAfter 7 failed attempts at using passive eDNA I finally freaking got it to work!!! Wow was it annoying to fail that many equivalent molecular bake-off technical challenges… 🧬🙈 Looks like medical gauze is the answer ladies and gentlemen! Curse you plastics… Let the Passive Pycno Party commence 🎉🌟
Show PostNew paper! 🪸🌊 As reefs shift, the communities that replace corals can reshape the chemical environment around them. Laurel shows how community metabolism creates “chemical legacies” that alter coral physiology. @aslo.org aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Show PostNew publication! 🎉 🧬 eDNA signals continue changing post-capture We tracked DNA persistence across collection materials and showed: ⏰ time, 🌡️ temp, and substrate drive detectability A step towards more standardised and field-ready airborne eDNA! bit.ly/435t2Ez #eDNA
Show PostA new #GES4SEAS paper, from past year summer school has been published. It deals with #MachineLearning #eDNA and #CitizenScience for marine monitoring #MarineEcology #Research www.frontiersin.org/articles/10....
Show PostBeautiful day for the start of an expedition. As part of the "State of the Sea" (Ástand Sjávar) survey over the next two weeks, we'll be sampling to predict algal blooms, develop eDNA monitoring around aquaculture pens, and take oceanographic measurements all around Iceland @mfri.bsky.social
