@cofnod @ecology_digest @BritishSpiders @CIEEMnet @NatureMetrics @rob_yaxley @Buzz_dont_tweet 100% agree we need @BritishSpiders recorders to collect and ID and met last year to discuss a way forward. For DNA barcoding the specimens can be preserved in ethanol (preferred) or similar preservatives. For more info please get in touch via [email protected]. Thanks, Ben

This newly published report sets out the formation of the UK Barcode of Life (UKBOL) steering group and progress in barcoding priority species, funded through the Defra DNA Centre of Excellence @NHM_Science @UK_BOL
