The eDNA Society Annual Meeting 2021
Species Distributions,
and Beyond
2021.11.20, 21 (JST, UTC+9) ONLINE
Broadening the eDNA networks worldwide
The environmental DNA (eDNA) technologies have been developing very rapidly. Now, eDNA applications include not only ones for species distributions in the wild, but also their spatio-temporal variations, environment-dependencies, species interactions etc. Here, we set this annual meetings' main theme as "Species distributions, and beyond" in order to further improve the network of eDNA researchers and technologies for multiple purposes.
Although it is unfortunate that the pandemic of COVID-19 prevents us from inviting you directly to Sapporo, Japan, we will organize the two-day online meeting to create and maintain our connections in interactive manners. We hope you enjoy it and learn a lot through the programs. Enjoy!
