Inter-laboratory ring test for environmental DNA extraction protocols: implications for marine megafauna detection using three novel qPCR assays The comparability of methods applied to environmental DNA (eDNA) samples across laboratories remains a significant challenge for biodiversity monitoring on a global scale. Performance differences betw...

I wonder whether I can manage a #protistaday... Seems (probably too) ambitious. I am trying to share the little things that bring me joy. Today: look at this adorable #radiolarian wondering what it is doing touching a plastic dish rather than drifting in the open ocean. #protistsonsky

A colourful few Fungi from the past few weeks. #fungifriday #fungifriends #norfolk 🍄🍄‍🟫🍂

Beautiful!

Let‘s try a #metabarcoding starter pack to nucleate people interested. Welcome molecular #biodiversity monitoring people. Let’s try to keep us posted on updates regarding papers, projects, methods. Happy weekend.☀️#eDNA
