Environmental DNA – a non-invasive method for target taxa: passive vs targeted detection Feb 1, 2017 - Mar 31, 2020
Traditional taxonomic methods are costly, time consuming and require expert knowledge and skill – particularly for lower taxonomic groups. In the last decade, molecular techniques have advanced understanding of relatedness and interactions between sp...
