  1. Das BfN hat 2 Datentonnen im Naturschutzgebiet Pommersche-Bucht-Rönnebank in der Ostsee routinemäßig geprüft. Als dauerhafte Messstationen in den Schutzgebieten der AWZ in Nord- und Ostsee liefern sie wichtige Daten den Meeresnaturschutz. Perspektivisch sollen sie auch #eDNA erfassen können.

  2. Do you use DNA approaches to monitor plant pests or pathogens in the UK?

    Fill in Beth Moore’s survey on using DNA technologies for pest and pathogen monitoring & option to sign up to be a part of focus group hutton.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/

    The survey is being run as part of the plant health centre project PHG2028_01 at #JamesHuttonInstitute

  3. Field work seems to be over for now in our #BEN_EAF outgoing mobility project in the #Cairngorms, #Scotland.

    We did sample soil for #eDNA #metabarcoding and collected our pitfall traps.

    It was a great and quite warm weather! 😎

    Next: do some invertebrate identification in the labs of the #JamesHuttonInstitute .

  4. Sharing this paper written by my colleagues - Making eDNA more digestible: A pizza analogy for understanding false negatives and occupancy modelling.
    academic.oup.com/bioscience/ad

    The pizza represents a site, slices represent water samples, bites represent PCR replicates, toppings represent species and olives represent a low-abundance species.

  5. 🐞 Jedes Lebewesen hinterlässt auf seinem Weg eine unsichtbare Spur: die #eDNA. Sie macht ganze #Ökosysteme und ihre #Biodiversität sichtbar.

    Wie ist der aktuelle Forschungsstand zur eDNA?
    Wie kann sie stärker in Monitoringprojekte integriert werden?

    Die Antworten bekommt ihr im nächsten Thünen-Kolloquium:

  6. Environmental DNA studies have always fascinated me with how smartly they use pre-existing "sampling efforts" in nature.
    This is another great example of that!

  8. Preparations for my #BEN_EAF project as visiting scientist at the #JamesHuttonInstitute are still ongoing, but I could hike in the Scottish #Highlands already!

    Looking forward to taking #alpine #SoilFauna samples (cores and pitfall traps) and to compare these with #eDNA samplings. 🕷️🧬

  9. Techniek brengt ons #edna maar bij vleermuizen geeft dat valse positieven en valse negatieven. Dat leidt tot dure maatregelen waar ze misschien helemaal niet nodig zijn en tot 1 tot 2 miljoen dode vleermuizen die stikken in de purschuim. Beide niet fijn.

    Toch hebben Kabinet en Kamer deze werkwijze er vorig jaar doorheen geduwd, ondanks negatieve adviezen van zowel ecologen als de #raadvanstate.

  10. Hype for the Future 162F: City of Edna, Texas

    Introduction The City of Edna is a community located within—and the county seat of—Jackson County, Texas. Today, the community is associated with United States Route 59 (future Interstate 69) and Texas State Highways 111 and 521, with Lake Texana covering the historic site of Texana, Texas, to the east. The Jackson Inn is located nearby, with the local Texana Museum largely located within city limits. Future Interstate 69 The community of Edna provides access to United States Route 59, […]

  11. YEAH! 🎉
    Today #BEN_EAF kick-offs as collaboration of Eurac Research, South Tyrol (#AlpSoil_Lab) and the James Hutton Institute (#EnB group), Scotland.

    We will identify alpine #SoilFauna in the Highlands using traditional and modern #eDNA methods.

    Stay tuned!

  12. There are plenty of actions to study the ocean, including mapping the #seabed, #eDNA expeditions, satellite observations, #bluecarbon studies, etc.

  13. #eDNA Environmental DNA
    The Core Concept: A non-invasive monitoring technique that detects the presence of species by extracting and analyzing genetic material shed into the environment (water, soil, air) rather than isolating the organism itself.

    Key Distinction/Mechanism: Unlike traditional ecology which relies on physical capture or visual observation ("macro-organismal" interaction), eDNA focuses on the "molecular" traces—such as mucus, skin cells, and gametes—organisms leave behind, effectively reading the environment as a biological archive.

    Origin/History: Initially developed in the 1980s as a niche method for identifying soil microbes, it has since evolved into a global surveillance network for monitoring macro-organisms across diverse ecosystems.

  14. Free online symposium on using environmental DNA to detect insects. Feb 13, 2026, 11:30-3:30 EST. Multiple talks will be given by eDNA researchers, on bees, butterflies, pollinator networks, and more.

    There will be a panel at the end if you have any questions about using eDNA in your own work.

  15. 🎧 Hörtipp: Im Podcast "IQ - Wissenschaft und Forschung" vom ARD ging es kürzlich um Umwelt-DNA (#eDNA). Damit lässt sich die Artenvielfalt erforschen, ohne Ökosysteme zu stören. Interviewt wurden u. a. Biologinnen der Uni Innsbruck zum Projekt "Frosch im Wassertropfen".
