What is it about?
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a promising tool for rapid and non-invasive biodiversity monitoring. eDNA density is low in environmental samples, and a capture method, such as filtration, is often required to concentrate eDNA for downstream analyses. We have shown the 0.45 µm mixed cellulose acetate and nitrate filters performed the best in terms of total DNA yield, probability of species detection, repeatability within pond and consistency between ponds.
