Uncovering Hidden Biodiversity in Ontario Streams via DNA Metabarcoding
The DNA Revolution: How eDNA is Transforming Freshwater Conservation For decades, environmental scientists have relied on traditional, morphology-based monitoring to track the health of our waterways. By physically identifying organisms like insect larvae and crustaceans, researchers have attempted to map the biodiversity of our streams. However, a new study published in Molecular Ecology suggests that … Read more
