New paper out today!! We know warming speeds up eDNA removal in lakes and ponds, but what about streams and rivers where physical removal may obscure the impact of decay? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Warming Increases Environmental DNA (eDNA) Removal Rates in Flowing Waters

This study experimentally investigated how warmer water temperatures impact eDNA removal rates in flowing waters. Using recirculating mesocosms with varying water temperatures (20°C, 23°C, and 26°C)...

So what did we find? At higher temps, small eDNA particles (0.2–1.0 μm), were removed faster than at lower temps, while removal rates were consistent across temps for larger eDNA particles (>1.0 μm).

This difference meant there was an increase in the proportion of the eDNA sample made up of small particles as we moved "downstream". More evidence that eDNA removal in streams is an interplay of physical and biotic factors. And this can be influenced by temp!

The scientific road can be a rocky one! If you're struggling with setbacks in your research, consider submitting an abstract for SFS 2025 for the session "From Dead Ends to Discovery: Embracing Failure as a Pathway to Scientific Progress." Organized by me and @Fish_finatic!

Abstracts are due on January 26th and can be submitted here: sfsannualmeeting.org/abstrac…. If you are a student or early-career scientist who could use funds for travel, consider also applying for an SFS endowment award here: freshwater-science.org/award…
