Was great to see Josh Wright presenting on the evolutionary history of mergansers at this year's @bes-egg.bsky.social meeting. Nice to know more of the background to the study ahead of Josh’s @nerc-eof.bsky.social-supported project on whole-genome re-sequencing of scaly-sided merganser.

eDNA (green) found the same species as hand-sorting (brown), but was better at detecting anecic earthworms and species richness. eDNA can also identify juvenile earthworms, which can make up >80% of a soil sample but are difficult to identify to species morphologically.
