"Fate and transport of environmental DNA: mapping the knowns and unknowns"
TLDR - Review of how eDNA moves and is removed in aquatic systems to improve biodiversity monitoring and interpretation. Grab your macro-species goggles--the focus is on larger organisms, with bacteria mainly noted for eDNA removal and no mention of fungi or other microorganisms that live in aquatic systems.
"Large scale eDNA database reveals potential for pseudo biodiversity"
TLDR - warming waters are bringing more tropical fish northward, creating a short-term illusion of higher biodiversity the authors call 'pseudo biodiversity'

Wiredu-Boakye et al. analysed 432 DNA damage response (DDR) proteins in 68 genomes, showing that DDR proteins are consistently longer than housekeeping proteins, regardless of life history.

New on Entomology Today: A pair of beetle species are key players in managing the hemlock woolly adelgid, but it can be difficult to detect where they are present and feeding on the invasive pest. A new study details a genetic test to detect and differentiate traces of the beetles' DNA in samples of soil, water, or plant matter from a target area. #entomology #insects #EnvironmentalDNA #biocontrol https://entomologytoday.org/2024/06/18/environmental-dna-biological-control-hemlock-woolly-adelgid-laricobius-beetles/
