It's happening! Our first ever International Symposium on eDNA for Conservation and Biomonitoring in SE Asia; 14 Mar 2023 (Tue) at University of Nottingham Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Teaching Center. Pls share far and wide! Details: nottingham.edu.my/Conferences/IS… Register at bit.ly/3l9GsfJ by 17 Feb.

[ANNOUNCEMENT!] I am pleased to share that my "Field Guide to Giant Clams of the Indo-Pacific" is forthcoming!! It contains plenty of information, including all 12 recognised species taxonomic key for identification! Stay tuned when it's available for order! #giantclamgirl

I am pleased to announce our very first mini review on the application of eDNA metabarcoding for biomonitoring in the mangrove environment. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… A big thanks to the team for coming together and sharing their experience.

Ever wonder how language might be shaping (or be a barrier to) our understanding of global biodiversity? Here is our paper on the visibility of non-English biodiversity reports. A key study for all non-English speakers!

businesstoday.com.my/2023/06/03/pru… Happy World Environment Day! Let's not forget mangroves and how they help put food on our tables.

Celebrating the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem 26 July at MMM6 Colombia MMM6 - Colombia. Great to meet old friends and new. Long live mangroves! #mmm6

It's official!!! MMM7 2026 in Japan. Bansai! 🥳 Thanks Prof. Tadashi Kajita⁩ for taking up the mamoth task. See all you MMMers in Okinawa! #mmm6 MMM6 - Colombia

Finally visited University of Nottingham's own ÆDNA lab. Positive pressure, periodic UV sterilisation, compartmentalised processes. It's a dream! Thanks Andrew Clarke for an amazing facility!

We're delighted to announce that applications are now open for the EDGE Fellowship 2025! If you're an early-career conservationist from Asia or the Pacific, we want to hear from you. To find out more and apply now, visit buff.ly/3VYGmYI

At the 2nd UN Ocean Decade Regional Conference in conjunction with the 11th WESTPAC International Marine Science Conference in Bangkok. Great to see a large presence of eDNA work and happy to deliver a symposium alongside our mangrove eDNA colleagues.

shorturl.at/acvT0 A big thanks to Tatler for highlighting our work on mangrove eDNA metabarcoding in Malaysia for Earth Day 2024! I'm happy to be named alongside amazing ladies as Ravinder Kaur, Yasmin Rasyid, Baida Hercus, Pua Lay Peng, @LaraAriffin & Kae Kawanishi.

What makes a mangrove cold-tolerant? Our work showed that efficient photosynthesis regulation when it's just chilly (15°C) allows Bruguiera gymnorhiza to tolerate low temps better than other tropical mangrove species. Aidan W. Short @DrJohnDParker tinyurl.com/2hznj4r5

This week, we conducted a biodiversity survey at the mangroves of Kampung Sungai Melayu and opened our ears to the history, culture and needs of the local people, to help develop ecotourism that is both science-driven and need-based. Thanks, #IIB and #KBPM A Aldrie Amir

eDNA is perfect for a quick survey of fish diversity in the mangroves. We can detect fish species in the waters without catching them. Knowing the diversity would help us showcase the estuary, improve fishery management and promote recreational fishing. instagram.com/reel/C6wELHIPj…

A big thanks to USU and Universitas Prima Indonesia, esp. Prof Basyuni, for their hospitality during my visit to Medan in May/June under USU's Top Scientist Global Partnership program. What an insightful trip! 4 lectures, 1 publication & knowledge exch. on bioutilization in mangroves.

We’re calling for applications for the Yang Chang Man Research Fellowship in Biodiversity and the Leo Tan Research Fellowship in Biodiversity, designed to empower early career researchers of Southeast Asia’s biodiversity. 📷: lkcnhm.nus.edu.sg/research-fello…

New article! 🚨 #Rubber plantations are impermeable to understory habitat specialist #birds. Strips of native #vegetation with #understory layers can serve as corridors for birds in rubber-dominated landscapes. #Conservation #Biodiversity 🌿🐦 doi.org/10.1186/s40462…

Sacred groves in Bali have comparable tree diversity and demography as protected forests. Our data lends support to Indon.’s forest decentralization policies through which local communities maintain stewardship over biodiversity-rich customary forests. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
