Finding dugongs through environmental DNA: a complementary tool for population surveillance
Detecting dugongs at low densities remains a major challenge for conservation monitoring, particularly in remote or turbid coastal habitats where conventional surveys are difficult. Environmental DNA (eDNA) offers a complementary approach, but robust species-specific tools are needed before it can be confidently applied to dugong surveillance. We developed and analytically validated a…
