Tiger asks why I have disturbed her, it is not snowing here in Missouri?

A Mysterious Salmon-Killing Affliction is a Mystery No More - bioGraphic In California, scientists tracked the source of a severe vitamin deficiency that’s killing endangered fish.

Man, on top of everything else that’s plaguing salmon, now we have to worry about… vitamin-B deficiency related to excess predation on anchovies?!

Spatial distribution and relative biomass of bigheaded carps in Lake Balaton, Hungary estimated from an environmental DNA survey Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), bighead carp (H. molitrix) and their hybrids, collectively known as bigheaded carps, have been introduced to Lake Balaton, Hungary. The current stock sizes ar...

This federal program helps track America's ecosystems. Trump's budget would gut it The Ecosystems Mission Area helps researchers track everything from birds and bees to floods and fires. Trump wants to cut it by about 90%, gutting a key federal ecological program.

A Metadata Checklist and Data Formatting Guidelines to Make eDNA FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) Environmental DNA (eDNA) has emerged as a transformative tool for biodiversity monitoring and species detection, yet inconsistent metadata practices hinder data interoperability and reuse. To address...

The theoretical LOD for one qPCR replicate is 3 copies per reaction. If your one-replicate LOD comes out much lower than 3, the concentrations of your standards might be off. You can get an effective LOD below 1 copy per reaction if you run multiple replicates (reactions) for each sample

Stray DNA is all around us. It could revolutionize conservation Environmental DNA harvested from the ocean, land and air can help scientists monitor wildlife. The challenge is figuring out how to interpret this eDNA.
