  • WHAT?

    eDNA is the idea of taking a environmental sample like water or air, and finding traces of DNA and figuring out what creatures live in the area. you wouldn’t take a sample from an animal mouth to check for eDNA.

    you could tell what salamanders live in a pond by getting eDNA from the water, but no real point in checking the DNA in the salamander mouth.

    maybe to double check results for testing.
