Katie Brasell – Southern eDNA society seminar

Lakes380 team member Katie Brasell recently presented some of her PhD research to the Southern eDNA Society.

In her talk titled – “A shaky past: natural pulse disturbance and multi-trophic resilience in a pristine NZ lake revealed with sedDNA” Katie explains why studying a lake with a natural disturbance cycle is important for better understanding the future of our lakes. Using some ecological theory and innovative eDNA tools to help us see more clearly into the mud… Katie explores what happens to a lake food web after being stirred up by high magnitude earthquakes! 

You can view the presentation here. Her talks starts at about 26 mins.

Sampling for fish eDNA in lakes

Check out these new eDNA posters! eDNA is an ama Check out these new eDNA posters! 

eDNA is an amazing new tool that can help us understand and protect the taiao (environment) - but it can't do everything. It needs to be used to complement other techniques and aligned with Indigenous and local knowledge. These new posters highlight these benefits and provide suggestions on some questions to ask before launching into an eDNA based project!

When working with eDNA projects we like to co-design the project with our partners. We also love sharing our knowledge and helping train the next generation of scientists to become sentinels of the taiao.
