Our #review of the past 10 years of aquatic eDNA is here! We looked at 407 manuscripts and provide:
- 17 key considerations to guide study design and method selection
- a list of 663 PCR primers for aquatic eDNA research (largest to date)

An overview of our recent trip to the Nova-Canton trough where we collected 438 deep-sea eDNA samples. Working with @deepseauwa on these expeditions has been an absolute blast!
Special thanks to the team on board @elinthom & Meg Cundy, Inkfish, and @minderoo

STUDYING #deepsea AMPHIPODS
PhD student Jenny Wainwright had the opportunity to collect hadal and abyssal dwelling amphipods from 3000 to 8000 meters for the very first time in the Nova Canton Trough.

My thesis looked at monitoring hard to reach environments (Antarctic open ocean and the deep sea) and threatened species (syngnathids). It’s available to all here espace.curtin.edu.au/handle/…

#eDNA is revolutionizing #biodiversity sciences, #ecology & #evolution.
While we totally agree on its opportunities, @CoutonMarjorie, @Fred__Viard and I call for some caution regarding inherent limits for its use for #population #genetics.

New paper out! Blue carbon stocks in the Endangered eelgrass Zostera capensis 🌱
We hope this further highlights the need to protect the extremely valuable yet vulnerable seagrass habitats in southern Africa.
