Field application of an improved protocol for environmental DNA extraction, purification, and measurement using Sterivex filter

Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly popular as a useful non-invasive method to monitor and study biodiversity and community structure in freshwater and marine environments. To effectively extract eDNA from the filter surface is a fundamental factor determining the representativeness of...
