Journalist Eric Niler publishes a good feature in Wired magazine on eDNA that includes coverage of the work of PHE’s Mark Stoeckle:
‘Environmental DNA’ Lets Scientists Probe Underwater Life
With the help of a new kind of drone, marine biologists can sequence DNA found in the ocean to reveal what’s living in an ecosystem—and what’s missing.
the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research has just issued the 4th newsletter of the International Quiet Oceans Experiment.
Neil Agarwal has created an informative and enjoyable dive into the deep sea where one passes species at their characteristic depths down to the deepest sea floor. At 250 meters below the surface, one passes the Terrible Claw lobster, also known as Dinochelus ausubeli.
Mark Stoeckle’s eDNA survey caught the Twitter eye of Mystic Lakes Watershed Association https://mobile.twitter.com/AndyMysticRive1/status/1187805832555257857
