Our new paper is online at Environmental DNA. We use national stream macroinvertebrate datasets collected using benthic sampling and #eDNA to compare how well each quantifies stream ecosystem health. eDNA works well with the right approach and/or index onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Excited to announce that the third chapter of my PhD thesis has been published 🥳 @DrPFranklin @dr_eleanor_gee @niwa_nz @waikato
This study examined how temperature affects critical swimming speed in four migratory fish species. The authors call for fish passage solutions that consider temperature fluctuations, to preserve populations in a changing climate 🐟🐟 DOI: doi.org/10.1093/conphys/coae…

Probs the coolest aquatic plant out! The southern bladderwort, Utricularia australis, a carnivorous plant present in peat bogs. It has many small bladders, used to trap tiny aquatic animals #CritterOfTheWeek @JMulliganRNZ @naturevision @TayTalksTrees rnz.co.nz/national/programme…
