A validation scale to determine the readiness of environmental DNA assays for routine species monitoring

Bettina Thalinger, Kristy Deiner, Lynsey R. Harper, Helen C. Rees, Rosetta C. Blackman, Daniela Sint, Michael Traugott, Caren S. Goldberg, Kat Bruce

The paper introduces a 5-level validation scale to assess the readiness of eDNA assays for species monitoring, showing most assays are inadequately validated.

Needle in a haystack? A comparison of eDNA metabarcoding and targeted qPCR for detection of the great crested newt (Triturus cristatus)

Lynsey R. Harper, Lori Lawson Handley, Christoph Hahn, Neil Boonham, Helen C. Rees, Kevin C. Gough, Erin Lewis, Ian P. Adams, Peter N. M. Brotherton, Susanna Phillips, Bernd Hänfling

This study compares eDNA metabarcoding and targeted qPCR for detecting the great crested newt, finding qPCR more sensitive but metabarcoding with no threshold comparable at a stringent qPCR threshold.
