Wouldn’t it be kind of wild if someone actually pulled everything we know about what happens to eDNA between shedding and detection?
Decay, transport, microbes, temperature, rivers, oceans, all of it?!
We did that.

Key takeaways: eRNA degraded significantly faster than eDNA across markers; dPCR kept detection high even under strong dilution—signals still reached the terminal mesocosm. Huge thanks to everyone who helped.
