  1. 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 .

  3. Researchers partner with #IndigenousKnowledge holders to protect threatened great desert skink Tjakuṟa phys.org/news/2025-01-partner-

    #Metabarcoding clarifies the diet of the elusive and vulnerable Australian #tjakura (Great Desert #Skink, Liopholis kintorei) frontiersin.org/journals/ecolo

    "Tjakuṟa is a large #lizard that lives in multi-tunneled communal burrows in #Australia... scientists rely on #Aṉangu Traditional Knowledge to locate Tjakuṟa burrows, estimate burrow occupancy, identify predator tracks"

  4. Pleased to see this published (and open access) - I’ve been contributing to this #ForestResearch / #HuttonInstitute led project for over 5 years (with most of the co-authors even longer):

    Green et al (2025) The prevalence of Phytophthora in British plant nurseries; high-risk hosts and substrates and opportunities to implement best practice doi.org/10.1111/ppa.14044

  5. Took a while, but my largest ever upload of data to the #ENA / #SRA is live, nearly 4000 #metabarcoding amplicon sequencing runs using a #Phytophthora ITS1 marker: ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJ

    Managing sequencing #metadata is hard!
