Flamingo numbers are falling, with a new study linking this to the water extracted by mining firms to pump up brine filled with lithium.
The eDNA for Global Environment Studies program includes projects monitoring the endangered Pilbara Olive Python in Western Australia, protecting native birds in Chile’s high-altitude wetlands, detecting elusive underground invertebrates and developing new tests to identify invasive marine species.
“Living organisms leave behind traces of DNA in water, soil or air and we can use these genetic breadcrumbs to monitor the health of habitats, track endangered species and detect invasive ones,” “The program is funded by our Social Investment Framework under the ‘Environment’ stream – helping to fill knowledge gaps for better biodiversity and conservation outcomes to help us improve sustainability in our mining processes, while also training the next generation of genetic and data scientists,” Cooper said. The new funding will extend the eDGES program for another four years, building on the success of its first stage, which launched in 2020.

DNA packaging directly affects how fast DNA is copied in cellsResearchers have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself is copied during cell division. They discovered that DNA packaging sends signals through an unusual pathway, affecting the cell's ability to divide and grow. This opens up new doors to study how the copying of the DNA and its packaging are linked.
