Seas the DNA? Limited detection of cetaceans by low‐volume environmental DNA transect surveys

Chloe V. Robinson,
Amy Migneault,
Karina Dracott
et al.

Abstract: Environmental DNA (eDNA) has begun to show promise as a robust and reproducible tool for monitoring cetaceans in coastal and offshore waters. Some limiting factors preventing the wider application of eDNA for cetacean monitoring includes lack of species‐specific qPCR assays and limited in situ validation. In this study, we determined 15 monitoring stations within cetacean hotspots in Chatham Sound (British Columbia, Canada), from which we collected a combination of visual and acoustic data, and low‐volume eDNA… Show more

“…However, studies that have applied eDNA analysis to cetaceans are scarce compared with those to sh, terrestrial mammals, and birds (Foote et Robinson et al, 2023). In this study, we aimed to establish an eDNA assay speci c to nless porpoises and con rm the capability of eDNA analysis to detect nless porpoise DNA in marine environments.…”
