The eWHALE team at the #ECS2026 in #Dundee. What a week! Started with an #eDNA + #Cetaceans workshop together with @phoca-sapiens.bsky.social & Elena Valsecchi and ended with a #Ceilidh! 🤩
We are delighted to announce the recent release of the first UKDNA-WG briefing note. This guide to DNA-based monitoring with citizen science was written by Lauren Cook (UK Centre for Ecology &…
Are you a fan of science podcasts and do you speak German? These are links to Andi Hollinger (Nationalpark Gesäuse) and me discussing all things #eDNA for a non-scientific audience.

This year‘s #UKDNAWG meeting in #Sheffield was an absolute whirlwind of updates and productive discussions. Thank you so much @ukdnawg.bsky.social for having me and your enthusiasm for #eDNAEurope! 🤩
🧬 #eDNA sampling video publication 🎥
To make it easier for non-experts and #CitizenScientists to carry out eDNA sampling, we turned the @ewhale-dna.bsky.social sampling protocol into a video publication!
Please spread and use widely! 😊

8 yrs ago today at a DNAqua-net workshop in 🇦🇹, the single species #eDNA validation scale was born + soon evolved into key guidance for the #eDNA community (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...). Nice to be reunited with some coauthors at #UKDNAWG26 ! @bettinathal.bsky.social @katbruce.bsky.social
The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis for species monitoring requires rigorous validation for meaningful application and interpretation. We describe a 5-level validation scale for the user-fri...
