Development and Validation of Environmental DNA (eDNA) Markers for Detection of Freshwater Turtles

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a potentially powerful tool for detection and monitoring of rare species, including threatened native species and recently arrived invasive species. Here, we develop DNA primers for a suite of nine sympatric freshwater turtles, and use it to test whether turtle eDNA can b...
