What Is eDNA -- And Why Are Biologists So Excited About It?
The scientific community is abuzz with new applications that can be developed using eDNA. What's eDNA, you ask? It's essentially "DNA soup" collected from an ecosystem that scientists can use to determine which species are present there. (The "e" stands for "environmental.") Join Expedition Leader Kristina Disney as she reveals some of the exciting possibilities of eDNA, from tracking rare species, to understanding food webs, to monitoring invasive flora and fauna, using species like polar bears and other marine mammals from our Churchill adventures as examples.
