AI Summary

Researchers have created a device capable of collecting DNA from animals present in the air. This DNA vacuum technology allows for the identification of local wildlife by analyzing air samples. The device was tested in three natural areas in Denmark, where it successfully collected and analyzed genetic material from the environment. The results indicate that this method can be used to map local wildlife populations. This development brings the researchers closer to using DNA from the air to monitor biodiversity more effectively.
