eDNA survey data from freshwater published by NTNU University Museum

The final project report will be published here when submitted.

The NTNU University Museum will publish results from eDNA surveys of freshwater organisms which is a prioritized completely new data type in GBIF. This project will coordinate activities with the DNAqua-net EU COST action to publish species data records linked to the operational taxonomic units (OTUs) recently included to the GBIF Taxon backbone. Data for this pilot dataset will include eDNA or bulk-samples for invertebrates in still water or in streams of freshwater in Central Norway (Midt-Norge). Samples will originate from an estimated set of 10 localities representing 1100-1200 species names and include an estimated 10 000 species occurrences with a co-funding of 150 000 NOK from GBIF-Norway. Project participants at NTNU University Museum are Anders G. Finstad (GBIF Science Committee vice-chair), Torbjørn Ekrem, and Markus Majaneva.

 

The final project report from NTNU University Museum will be published here.
