The blog highlights the contributions of the Minderoo OceanOmics Centre to marine biodiversity monitoring through environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis. By adopting the Maxwell RSC 48 system for automated DNA extraction, the team enhanced data quality, reduced manual contamination risks, and scaled up operations, thus improving their impact on conservation efforts.

New technology is helping scientists to track down pests, detect endangered species, and find infectious viruses, all through the tiny bits of DNA they shed. Speakers at the Environmental DNA Conference taking place in Wellington next week will share their stories of finding elusive pest wallabies,| www.sciencemediacentre.co.nz
In this blog post, Nicola Jackson shares the findings from their latest study looking at how sampling air particles to detect DNA can be useful in monitoring and conserving koalas. Perched high up …| The Applied Ecologist
