• Population genetics with eDNA

Using SNP markers with an Amphibian species, we were able to identify a total of 17,617 nuclear single nuclear polymorphisms shared across individual, pond eDNA (4 populations) and tank eDNA samples (where tadpoles of the four ponds were housed), enabling us to detect genetic structuring across sampling locations (previously demenstrated with microsatellites and tissue samples), consistent with individual-based estimates. Collecting only the matrix (here water) allows describing the existing population structure...that could be a nice progress for conservation biology...
