Developing and Evaluating Aquatic Passive Sampling of Environmental DNA for Microbial Community Profiling. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has transformed biodiversity monitoring across taxa from bacteria to mammals, yet sample collection remains a major bottleneck. Passive sampling via adsorption and entrapment has emerged as a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of conventional active filtration.
