User Story: Bringing Steinbeck & Ricketts into the MBON Era
Over 85 years after Steinbeck and Ricketts documented life in the Sea of Cortez tidepools, a binational team retraces their expedition using MBON Pole-to-Pole protocols and eDNA to measure decades of biodiversity change.

View datasetMarine zooplankton community structure through environmental DNA metabarcoding in the Florida Keys, collected by the South Florida Program (NOAA/AOML) and the Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON)
This data consists of counts of putative zooplankton OTUs, revealed through metabarcoding of the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene extracted from filtered water samples in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary during 2016.
