Early detection and spatial monitoring of an emerging biological invasion by population genetics and environmental DNA metabarcoding

Abstract Rapid management responses against invasive species soon after their establishment are the most efficient way to limit their biological and economic impacts. Early detection and reliable monitoring is however challenging when cryptic taxa are involved. Here we show how environmental DNA (eD...
