Seeing through sedimented waters: environmental DNA reduces the phantom diversity of sharks and rays in turbid marine habitats

Research published in #BMCEcolEvol reports that DNA metabarcoding is effective in detecting shark and ray species despite the challenges posed by the physical environment. https://t.co/9qyRdcU9wg

However, the Bull Shark is likely to be more widespread & abundant in Singapore's waters. Analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) has detected its presence at several sites in the Singapore Strait. https://t.co/1JC3ltKWpz https://t.co/r9FC2SccTo 📷: Ip
