Article Synopsis
- Embracing local knowledge is crucial for biodiversity conservation, but there is a lack of effective frameworks to incorporate this knowledge properly.
- Using a Wisdom of Crowds approach, the study tested whether diverse groups of individuals, with varying ages and fishing experience, provided better estimates of fishing quality compared to more uniform groups.
- The research found that targeting a diverse group of 31% of survey participants captured most unique responses; small diverse groups were as effective as larger ones in assessing ecological conditions, highlighting the importance of including varied knowledge holders in research.
The ability of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to infect a wide-range of species raises significant concerns regarding both human-to-animal and animal-to-human transmission. There is an increasing demand for highly sensitive, rapid, and simple diagnostic assays that can detect viral infection across various species. In this study, we developed a biosensor assay that adapted a monoclonal-antibody (mAb)-based blocking ELISA format into an Activate Capture + Digital Counting (AC + DC)-based immunoassay.
