Distribution analysis of the finless porpoises (Neophocaena sp.) and oceanic dolphins (Delphinidae) in the Korean Sea using environmental DNA. [PDF]
PLoS ONEEnvironmental DNA (eDNA) serves as a non-invasive tool for monitoring the presence of specific organisms in challenging or hard-to-access areas. We attempted non-invasive monitoring of Korean cetacean species by extracting eDNA from the western and ...
