New paper out today!!

We know warming speeds up eDNA removal in lakes and ponds, but what about streams and rivers where physical removal may obscure the impact of decay?

Warming Increases Environmental DNA (eDNA) Removal Rates in Flowing Waters
This study experimentally investigated how warmer water temperatures impact eDNA removal rates in flowing waters. Using recirculating mesocosms with varying water temperatures (20°C, 23°C, and 26°C) ...

New paper alert! 🚨- My final PhD chapter is finally out!

What happens to different eDNA components in water? 🌊💧

We tested particle size (small vs. large) and DNA molecule length (86 vs. 387 bp) in recirculating streams—and what we found might surprise you! 🧵👇

Comparing the Fate of eDNA by Particle Sizes and Molecule Lengths in Recirculating Streams
The detection of environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized aquatic species monitoring, yet interpreting eDNA data remains challenging due to gaps in our understanding of eDNA ecology (i.e., origin,...
