A Scientific Breakthrough Made With An Indigenous Community. Moose, caribou, deer... they've roamed the forests for thousands of years, shaping ecosystems as much as human cultures have. But how can ...

This project will develop cost-effective and efficient means of assessing baselines and monitoring changes in deep-sea biodiversity by filling critical gaps in DNA barcode and specimen image databases ...

Camera traps are a useful means to observe the behaviour of animal populations in the wild at remote locations. Researchers recently extended distance sampling analytical methods to accommodate data ...

Ocean species shed DNA into the water around them. The genetic material from waste, mucus or cells in one liter of water can determine the species richness in a given area, without the need to ...

The purpose of the study was to develop scientific methods for monitoring the effectiveness of herbicide spraying as a management technique for controlling the invasive species Phragmites australis.

A new system for sampling fragments of DNA from marine organisms drifting in the ocean is set to create new opportunities for research on biodiversity and ways of supporting conservation activities.

Tracking environmental DNA (eDNA) is fast becoming a popular method of monitoring aquatic biodiversity, but current methods are expensive and cumbersome. Filter-feeding sponges can act as natural ...
