Airborne DNA and Spider Webs Outperform Other eDNA Sources for Monitoring Terrestrial Vertebrates

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the strengths and limitations of different environmental DNA substrates is essential for optimising terrestrial vertebrate surveys and monitoring. However, the performance of newly explored substrates (airborne eDNA, vegetation swabs, spiderwebs) compared to longstanding eDNA sources (water and soil) is uncertain.
