📌 Paper 2:

"Next-Generation Sequencing of Fecal DNA: A Novel Insight Into the Mitogenome Phylogeography of the Snow Leopard."

Dr. Cheng Chen will delve into non-invasive #genetic monitoring and #molecularecology. 🧬

🎄eDNA preprint alert! 🎄Check out our admittedly massive review lead by the fearless @pedrobd.bsky.social.
Maybe just the kind of Holiday reading you were looking for?! 😉 #MolecularEcology #rivers #oceans #lakes #environmentalDNA #eDNA

We put this out as a preprint so the community can help pressure-test it. If we missed your work, misinterpreted something, or if you have data that alters any conclusion, please tell us. This only gets better with more eyes on it!

Fate and transport of environmental DNA: mapping the knowns and unknowns The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) in routine biomonitoring is transforming our ability to detect and quantify aquatic species. However, translating these indirect molecular detections into ecologica...

Wouldn’t it be kind of wild if someone actually pulled everything we know about what happens to eDNA between shedding and detection?
Decay, transport, microbes, temperature, rivers, oceans, all of it?!

We did that.

Molecular Footprints of Quaternary Climate Fluctuations in the Circumpolar Tundra Shrub Dwarf Birch The Arctic tundra biome is undergoing rapid shrub expansion (‘shrubification’) in response to anthropogenic climate change. During the previous ~2.6 million years, glacial cycles caused substantial s...

Key takeaways: eRNA degraded significantly faster than eDNA across markers; dPCR kept detection high even under strong dilution—signals still reached the terminal mesocosm. Huge thanks to everyone who helped.
