Working with @GovInslee, Office of Financial Management, tribal co-managers including the Lummi Nation, Makah Tribe, and others, Washington Sea Grant WSG Crab Team & Washington Invasive Species Council, WDFW is requesting $8,568,000 during the 2022 session to control increasing European green crab populations. wdfw.medium.com/european-green…

These crabs are “an imminent threat to the environment, economy, and human well-being of Washington state.” kuow.org/stories/inslee…

abby keller ’s Green Crab #eDNA paper is out, with Washington Sea Grant partners! tinyurl.com/4jac2jar I love this paper. Quantitative and practical, applicable broadly to invasive-species management. Un-paywalled version: tinyurl.com/2p9aafyn

Our colleagues at UW SAFS and Washington Sea Grant WSG Crab Team have published exciting new results on the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) water testing and genetic analysis as a tool for early detection of invasive European #greencrab: washington.edu/news/2022/02/1… UW News #WAInvasives

New Ecological Applications paper on eDNA monitoring method for invasive European green crab 🦀 in Washington state: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ea… Abby Keller Emily Grason @pseanmc @lacaDNA Ryan Kelly 👇Press release👇

Check out this new work by Abby Keller @pseanmc Emily Grason @Ingertdna UW Marine Affairs UW Program on the Environment UW SAFS in Ecological Applications. Could have big implications for WA's #greencrab disaster

We're pleased to share a paper just out where were fortunate to be able to collaborate with Abby Keller & Ryan Kelly. The team looked at how #eDNA compares to trapping in green crab detection and abundance estimates. More to come on the tools this work will offer management.

It has been incredibly rewarding to dive into some deep thinking about detection probabilities with Abby Keller & Ryan Kelly. Their patience (with my 🧬ignorance) and curiosity made this very strong work. Stay tuned for more cool stuff on this.

We're so happy and proud of Abby Keller '21 whose thesis work was recently published in Ecological Applications! #SMEA #scicomm #eDNA ow.ly/zw5C50HX4EY

Research from scientists at the University of Washington and Washington Sea Grant confirms that environmental DNA, or eDNA, works as well as physical trapping to detect the crabs' presence. But will #waleg fund it? Environment reporter OLX takes a look. bit.ly/3JpebZE

LISTEN: Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a way of using DNA from elephant tusks to solve poaching mysteries and bring animal traffickers to justice. bit.ly/3BrbYtO

A new analysis method applied to the invasive green crab developed by University of Washington and Washington Sea Grant scientists could help contain future invasions and prevent new outbreaks using water testing and eDNA analysis. Learn more ➡️ aau.edu/research-schol…
