Validated Environmental DNA Assay for Detection of the Rare Rice's Whale (Balaenoptera ricei)
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.The first eDNA assay was developed to detect the presence of the Rice's whale from environmental samples. This validated qPCR assay is highly sensitive and species‐specific and can be utilized in future studies to better understand the temporal and spatial distribution of this rare and endangered species.
