Hidden Biodiversity in Africa’s Corubal River: A Groundbreaking eDNA Study

The Corubal River, a largely uncharted waterway in West Africa, has recently become the focal point of a groundbreaking study in biodiversity. Spanning the remote regions of Guinea and Guinea-Bissau, the river has long remained understudied due to its isolated location and challenging terrain.
