Environmental DNA (eDNA) and metabarcoding are transforming biodiversity monitoring by enabling rapid, non-invasive assessments of community composition ...

For the first time, researchers develop a metabarcoding technology for brittle stars. Japanese scientists, led by Dr Masanori Okanishi of the Hiroshima Shudo University and the University of Tokyo, ...

Curtin researchers have uncovered new evidence of western pygmy possums interacting with native flowers, providing the first eDNA study to simultaneously detect mammal, insect and bird DNA on flowers.

Preserving strips of native vegetation beside avocado orchards gives insects a buffet of wild pollen when blossoms are scarce, doubling their plant menu and boosting their resilience. Using ...

In recent years, the global environment has been grappling with the devastating consequences of anthropogenic stressors, resulting in the dramatic depletion of numerous species and habitats across the ...
