Deskripsi

Mathew Seymour et al. compare eDNA with traditional biodiversity metrics to assess the functional diversity of a river basin in Wales over space and time and variable land use. Their results show that eDNA can generate greater biodiversity resolution and reliably detect spatio-temporal changes in community and functional diversity.
