A new study of tiger scats from Ranthambore Tiger Reserve compared the accuracy of new DNA metabarcoding versus traditional methods, and found that metabarcoding was able to detect a far more diverse ...
New research could help conserve the world’s rarest marsupial. New findings from Edith Cowan University (ECU) could strengthen efforts to safeguard one of the planet’s rarest marsupials. The Gilbert’s ...
It’s not easy eating green. Most plants are heavily defended with chemicals to deter would-be grazers. Getting enough to eat while minimizing exposure to toxins is a persistent challenge that shapes ...
Consumer demand for pastured poultry in many parts of the world continues to increase, but its production is challenged by high costs. While increasing the use of pastured resources, such as insects ...
Indian scientists at ZSI have pioneered a groundbreaking method using DNA metabarcoding to decode spider-parasitoid relationships directly from egg sacs. This innovative approach, published in ...
ABSTRACT: Soil microorganisms are crucial to ecosystem functions and productivity by mediating biogeochemical cycles. However, different land-use changes and management practices in agriculture ...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is becoming an increasingly important tool in diverse scientific fields from ecological biomonitoring to wastewater surveillance of viruses. The fundamental challenge in eDNA ...
Scientists used DNA metabarcoding to show for the first time that jellyfish are an important food for amphipods during the Arctic polar night in waters off Svalbard, at a time of year when other food ...
In recent years, the global environment has been grappling with the devastating consequences of anthropogenic stressors, resulting in the dramatic depletion of numerous species and habitats across the ...
