Sedimentary Ancient DNA from south-eastern Australia caves
Great to see where this has ended up from a journal club late one Friday afternoon! #teamwork #ACAD #ancientDNA
Great to see this paper finally published! What a team effort this was to get up and running. Especially a big thanks to @shyama-mama.bsky.social and @robbiedavidson for taking the helm.

Sedimentary ancient DNA from caves: Challenges and opportunities
Caves are unique depositional environments that hold great potential for long-term preservation of DNA due to their typically cool and stable internal climates, buffered from external climate extreme...

Exploration of the past 6,000 years of Adélie penguin ecology in the Ross Sea highlights past population dynamics and diets, offering insights into biodiversity changes in one of Earth's last intact marine ecosystems. The researchers take you behind their Nature Communications paper. 🧪
6,000 years of Adélie penguin ecology in the Ross Sea reconstructed from ancient environmental DNA
Long-term records of biodiversity provide baselines for interpreting change in threatened environments, such as Antarctica. Our study explores how ancient environmental DNA can provide these baselines, by reconstructing details about past populations and diets of Adélie penguins in the Ross Sea.
