Exploring remote oceans using traces of DNA
This World Ocean’s Day, new DNA technologies have arrived on the remote islands of the Chagos Archipelago, and a team of researchers are collecting DNA samples to monitor the marine biodiversity of this diverse region.
Industry guidelines now available: Using eDNA to manage biodiversity risk
In this industry briefing note by NatureMetrics and The Biodiversity Consultancy, we see how eDNA technologies are valuable for understanding and mitigating biodiversity impacts at every stage of a project lifecycle.
Introducing BIOSTREAM- Bringing rainforest nature data to life
We are proud to introduce BIOSTREAM - Biodiversity Sampling Technology for Remote Environmental Assessment and Monitoring - brought to you by NatureMetrics, Dendra Systems, and SYSTEMIQ.
NatureMetrics support new film: Britain’s Hidden Fishes
A new film has successfully crowdfunded £30,000 to showcase rarely shot footage of Britain’s Hidden Fishes. NatureMetrics supported the crowdfund by donating four eDNA Discovery Labs with 100 % of the sales given to the project.
Turning nature into data with NatureMetrics
Strengthening our understanding of UK biodiversity is a priority for effective management, yet we have an urgent need for better data. NatureMetrics scientists have developed scalable DNA based monitoring technologies that complement our existing biodiversity dataflows, giving rise to a new data layer for biodiversity generated using DNA species leave behind in their environment.
NatureMetrics: how we will make the next five years count for nature
Five years ago, NatureMetrics was a small team of people with a passion for DNA and its potential to change the way we manage biodiversity. We started off using eDNA to detect the protected Great Crested Newt for our clients. Today, we are over 40 people working with clients all over the world and have monitored tens of thousands of species across four continents.
Innovative new project announced by NatureMetrics & Scottish Government
The Scottish Government and NatureMetrics are using innovative nature monitoring to report on progress towards global biodiversity goals. In this new project, the Scottish Government are progressing nature reporting by developing new landscape level nature monitoring using DNA.
