Limited dispersion and quick degradation of environmental DNA in fish ponds inferred by metabarcoding

Jianlong Li, Lori Lawson Handley, Lynsey R. Harper…·Bernd Hänfling

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding to show that eDNA from introduced fish species peaks within days and degrades quickly, indicating localized and transient eDNA signals in ponds.
