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. However, the advent of environmental DNA (eDNA) technology has opened new doors, allowing researchers to uncover an astonishing variety of species, many of which were previously unknown in this region. In 2022, a team of scientists
