Summary
Dear sedaDNA enthusiasts,
Hello and welcome to the August newsletter! I hope that you have had an enjoyable summer and managed to get in some productive fieldwork and/or holiday time. While we may have been away from the office, 7 papers and 3 preprints have been published.
We hope you have a productive August,
The organising board
