Researchers have uncovered new evidence of western pygmy possums interacting with native flowers, providing an eDNA study to simultaneously detect mammal, insect and bird DNA on flowers. Curtin ...

Environmental DNA sampling (eDNA) in Pacific and Atlantic coastal waters has revealed an unseen "species richness" — detecting twice as many fish species as a traditional net survey, according to a ...

Right now, ecologists and biologists use physical surveys to study any species on the planet in a patch of land or ocean. Experts walk through dense forests collecting samples. Divers head into deep ...
