Teresita Porter 🙋🏻♀️"Fate and transport of environmental DNA: mapping the knowns and unknowns"
TLDR - Review of how eDNA moves and is removed in aquatic systems to improve biodiversity monitoring and interpretation. Grab your macro-species goggles--the focus is on larger organisms, with bacteria mainly noted for eDNA removal and no mention of fungi or other microorganisms that live in aquatic systems.
Fate and transport of environmental DNA: mapping the knowns and unknowns
The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) in routine biomonitoring is transforming our ability to detect and quantify aquatic species. However, translating these indirect molecular detections into ecological insight requires understanding how long eDNA persists and how it moves through the environme...
