Hi Megan. I would be really interested in learning more about new analytical tools in BOLD 3.0.
Looking forward to the workshop!

Polar Session at the 4th International Barcode of Life Conference
There will be a session on Polar barcoding at the upcoming conference in Adelaide. We hope that our session will be interesting for many of you and plan to both show progress in WG1.10 Polar Life, show new results on particular organism groups and discuss future collaboration and funding opportunities. Please visit the conference…See More

Hi again
I will try to send some samples your way, but cannot promise much since the amount of ethanol that we will be able to take with us is quite limited.
Cheers,
Torbjørn

Hello Torbjørn,
Thank you for the reply. We are interested to extract DNA from soil and then we will use nematode specific primers.
We need soil samples from top few cms (5-6 cms at the most) and if the sample can be preserved in…

Hi PB
Yes, we intend to take soil samples to retrieve soil arthropods (in collaboration with Steven Coulson on Svalbard), but I am unsure if the methods that Steve uses will preserve nematodes well. Are you interested in extracting DNA from the soil…
Punyasloke Bhadury replied to Torbjorn Ekrem's discussion 'Polar fieldwork 2011' in the group Polar Life
Hello Torbjørn,
Is there any possibility of getting access to soil samples? We are interested in studying the soil nematodes using high-throughput methods based primarily on barcoding.
Thanks
PB

Field Work on Jan Mayen
We have got an unusual opportunity to do some field work on the remote Arctic Island of Jan Mayen in the end of July. We will mainly collect terrestrial arthropods using Malaise traps and nets, but will also retrieve soil…
