... many great things are happening!
In early January, Gustavo visited Tadashi Kajita (Tropical Biosphere Research Center - University of the Ryukyus) in the beautiful Iriomote island to work on environmental DNA (eDNA) from Brazilian mangrove forests/rivers.
Later in January, André Madeira and Gustavo were out in field (NE Brazil) to sample mangrove trees for André's PhD project on mangrove adaptation and phenotypic plasticity.
From early February to mid-March, Gabriel, André and Gustavo will be carrying out a 'mangrove expedition' on NE-N Brazil. We will be sampling mangrove trees and water for eDNA analyses across > 10 sites covering > 1500 km of the coastline.
