Sensitive Environmental DNA Methods for Low‐Risk Surveillance of At‐Risk Bumble Bees
ABSTRACT Terrestrial environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques have been proposed as a means of sensitive, non‐lethal pollinator monitoring. To date, however, no studies have provided evidence that eDNA methods can achieve detection sensitivity on par with traditional pollinator surveys.
