"Scientists might be able to keep tabs on the world’s flora and fauna by analysing DNA floating through the air. That’s the conclusion of a study published on 5 June in Current Biology, in which a team identified more than 180 types of organism, including plants, fungi, insects and animals, using DNA captured by filters from air-pollution monitoring stations."

We explore the tantalizing potential of eDNA information within Environmental Impact Assessment! We built a dynamic ecosystem model that simulates and compares species presence observed traditionally and with eDNA. Our framework makes it possible to simulate expected species detections for a given ecosystem, taking some of the guesswork out of study planning. #innovation
