Community-level eDNA decay patterns in marine zooplankton: Implications for optimizing eDNA-based marine environmental monitoring.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) has the potential to greatly transform marine ecological monitoring, yet its capacity for accurate biodiversity estimates is constrained by its decay process. Previous research has largely focused on laboratory-cultured single species, and thus the dynamics of mixed-species eDNA from natural co...
