Optimist: the glass is half full. Pessimist: the glass is half empty. #eDNA biologist: the glass contains DNA of 80 fish species and 1400 Eukaryotic amplicon sequence variants of COI. #biodiversity 🦑

Stray DNA is all around us. It could revolutionize conservation
Environmental DNA harvested from the ocean, land and air can help scientists monitor wildlife. The challenge is figuring out how to interpret this eDNA.

Thrilled to share: out in @natureportfolio.bsky.social (!) just in time for Thanksgiving, the dinosaurian history of how your turkey does the twist.
