Water stratification in the marine biome restricts vertical environmental DNA (eDNA) signal dispersal
Abstract Background The utility of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding surveys to accurately detect species depends on the degree of DNA dispersal. Multiple marine studies have observed only minimal eDNA transport by horizontal water movement across small spatial scales, leading to the conclusion...
