Using eDNA from leaf and flower surfaces to assess plant-arthropod interactions
Biodiversity monitoring has become increasingly critical as climate change and anthropogenic land use have escalated, but recording and quantifying interspecies interactions in the field is time- and work-intensive. Environmental DNA, or eDNA, has attracted interest particularly for use in analyzing plant-arthropod biodiversity by enabling researchers to identify arthropod species and characterize communities based simply on […]
