Despite a global IT outage, Category 4 typhoon, and several false starts, I was thankful to get back to Iriomote-jima, Japan, working with colleagues @LabMise @LabNaruse to deploy @InsideNatGeo supported deep sea cameras and @wilderlab supported #eDNA on #mesophotic coral reefs.

"Tree of Life" metabarcoding boosted our knowledge on the spatial distribution of marine biodiversity in bustling Sydney Harbour. We also suggest this can be used to expand #eDNA monitoring in other urbanized estuaries or Sydney Harbour in future. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

A river catchment group in the Manawatū-Whanganui region recently used eDNA sampling kits from @wilderlabnz to reveal the presence of the invasive fringed water lily Nymphoides peltata in an isolated pond –– underscoring the importance of testing. horizons.govt.nz/news/previo…

Check this for how NZ is managing river health, and the paper underpinning it. Simple to use #eDNA tool for whole ecosystem monitoring. Watch this space for replications in Aust 😉🧬⏲️@curtin_trend
🧬🌊River monitoring is key in making good decisions. There are some real challenges to river health in Aotearoa New Zealand. The development of eDNA tools can help a lot in this area. Check out our ‘Conversation’ piece on the TICI tool just published. 🧬🌊theconversation.com/we-need-…

There are floofs outside our window, which may cause some delays in sample processing. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Excited to announce a new PhD opportunity to work on eDNA of New Zealand coastal reefs and kelp forests! More info here: gemmell-lab.otago.ac.nz/rese… This would be a part of the Toka ākau toitu Kaitiakitanga project (taukiakau.org/) and supervised by @ProfGemmell

What a privilege to serve as Guest Lecturer on the @ausgeo sponsored Coral Expeditions trip. We have at least 40 like-minded guests ready and willing to help with citizen science and environmental DNA sampling of the #GreatBarrierReef and #CoralSea. First stop, Mackay Reef!

Adrian worked with Te Miro farm, Taiao Ora Contracting, and @wilderlabnz on a project funded by @OurLandandWater that uses environmental DNA (eDNA) from water to identify taonga species. Find out more at: ourlandandwater.nz/outputs/e…

Nothing better than a cheeky day in the field at my favourite local spot in Parsley Bay. There is still time to participate in our #CitizenScience project cataloguing marine biodiversity in southern Sydney Harbour. @AustmusResearch @austmus inaturalist.org/projects/mar…

An exciting new partnership! @Wilderlab NZ and @eDNAFrontiers | Curtin University have teamed up to expand #eDNA #biomonitoring services. Now even more ways to ‘eDNA it’ #freshwater #marine #landscapes #everywhere 🧬🌏
