SUMMARY:New Tools for Old Questions: Using eDNA to Enhance Ecological Understanding
DESCRIPTION:Ecologists seek to understand relationships between organisms and their environment\, and central to this understanding is gathering information about who is living where\, when\, and what they are doing while there. Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a relatively new tool that can help provide information to answer these questions and can complement\, or in some cases\, supplant traditional research techniques.   \nIn this LiveStream event\, Dr. James Garner (University of Massachusetts Amherst) and Dr. Kate Buckman (Connecticut River Conservancy) will provide an overview of eDNA. Along with explaining the benefits and challenges of implementing eDNA studies\, James and Kate will give examples of how eDNA is being used in different applications. They review their eDNA study conducted in 2024 where they looked for evidence of shortnose sturgeon in the Connecticut River north of the Turner’s Falls MA and Vernon VT dam. Spoiler alert: they found that evidence!   \nRegister Here \n_____________________ \nAbout LiveStream: CRC brings your rivers to you!
