Abagael Pruitt

Check out our new paper, led by @abagaelpruitt.bsky.social, quantifying whole stream/river denitrification rates in an ag river and its tributary across seasons. Abagael did a great job leading this work and its a really great application of the open-channel N2 method! dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Abagael Pruitt and Elise (Ellie) Snyder smiling for the camera while collecting an eDNA water sample from one of twenty-four indoor, recirculating mesocosms.

We conditioned these handy recirculating mesocosms (at #NotreDame) under a range of temperatures. Then we added #eDNA from from two fish species and and took H2O samples over time to measure removal rates for different eDNA sizes. SO to @abagaelpruitt.bsky.social letting me use her experiment setup!

Warming Increases Environmental DNA (eDNA) Removal Rates in Flowing Waters This study experimentally investigated how warmer water temperatures impact eDNA removal rates in flowing waters. Using recirculating mesocosms with varying water temperatures (20°C, 23°C, and 26°C) ...

New paper out today!!

We know warming speeds up eDNA removal in lakes and ponds, but what about streams and rivers where physical removal may obscure the impact of decay?

She first got involved with SFS as an undergraduate at The University of Kansas when she attended SFS 2019 in Salt Lake City. Her favorite part of her program is being able to travel for conferences and research. Here is a photo of her two cats, Dr. Meowstus and William’s Original Chili Seasoning.
