Environmental #DNA or #eDNA is the study of genetic material in the #environment.
How can we apply it to the #deepsea? Revealing the hidden majority, changes through time and community structure, the possibilities seem endless.

That's EXACTLY what a giant sea spider would say...
I hear a lot about people being scared or creeped out by the giant sea spiders....my normal response is a) they don't bite, and b) they are SLOW! Here's some proof....Colossendeis robusta and an Ammothea sp. walking in a tank on our research cruise in 2020 (NBP20-10). 🧪🐧🦑🌎🇦🇶🧬
