Extraction workflow determines marker-specific recovery andreproducibility in leaf-litter eDNA metabarcoding

Sven Weber, Pritam Banerjee, Edoardo Scali, Alex A Farrow, Alexandra Boren, Walter Thomas Russelk, Natalie R. Graham, Rosemary Grace Gillespie, George K. Roderick

The paper compares DNA extraction workflows for leaf-litter eDNA metabarcoding, finding that recovery and reproducibility depend on workflow and marker, with site-level ecological signals retained across methods.
