eDNA sampler filter with turbid sample
A filter from the Smith-Root sampler that collects eDNA when water is pushed through. This pattern is indicative of turbid water passing through the filter.

Larval Two-Lined Salamander
This is a newly hatched two-lined salamander (Eurycea bislineata). Two-lined salamanders are a stream-adapted species, which means that the larvae are fully aquatic and live in streams.

USGS Scientist retrieving seawater from a Niskin bottle
USGS Scientist, Alexis Weinnig, working aboard the NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer to sample seawater with a niskin water bottle mounted on the back of the remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The water from the niskin bottles is filtered for eDNA to detect biological life in the water column.

Juvenile Northern Dusky Salamander
Northern dusky salamanders (Desmognathus fuscus) are a species of stream-adapted salamander found throughout the northeastern US. The larvae are aquatic and live in streams, while the adults live on streambanks. This individual is a juvenile, and it has only recently lost its gills and left the water.

Sampling for eDNA at Big Pool in CHOH National Park
Using the Smith Root sampler for eDNA collection in Big Pool within Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Park in June, 2023. eDNA will be extracted and sequenced to look for the presence of amphibians.

Comparison of the novel D-Cylinder and standard Denil fish ladders
Two 4-foot wide baffled chute fishways are tested side-by-side in the Conte Lab's Fish Passage Complex's east flume. The fish ladders are instrumented with passive integrated transponder antennas/reader. River herring, collected from the mouth of the Chicopee River are tested to assess entry and ascent rates.
