We map 3D distributions of 12 US West Coast fish species using only eDNA. By combining qPCR and metabarcoding, we turn molecules into abundance maps—revealing biodiversity hotspots and a path to continental-scale monitoring. #eDNA #ecology

For the first time this Spring, NOAA adopted eDNA into a formal stock assessment of Pacific Hake and this was supported by the Scientific Review Group for the Pacific Fisheries Management Council.

Five 3-year Postdoc positions open at @ebdonana.bsky.social. I am happy to sponsor and mentor good candidates working in my field, but note that these are quite independent positions aimed at helping stabilize new researchers in the system. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4nqkq...

Esta viñeta de El Roto daría asco en cualquier momento (muy habitual, por cierto, el tránsito antivacunas-conspiranoico-colapsista-putonazi). En un día como hoy roza lo delictivo. El modelo de negocio de la nueva dirección de @elpais.com parece ser la gestión de cloacas.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

With sadness and respect, we honor the legacy of Dr. Jim Estes, who passed away this week. A pioneer of marine ecology, Jim’s groundbreaking work transformed our understanding of ecosystems and the essential role of keystone predators like sea otters. He is an icon in sea otter research. 🧵👇

“No se debería pescar ningún salmón, hacerlo es condenarlo a la extinción”

Lo dice bien claro hoy mi compañero @natcantabrica.bsky.social en una entrevista @elpais.com

David Álvarez, biólogo: “No se debería pescar ningún salmón, hacerlo es condenarlo a la extinción”
El investigador y docente estudia los salmónidos desde hace más de 25 años y lucha por cambiar la gestión de la especie, que sufre una brutal regresión
