Project Profiles

Environmental DNA is being used in diverse projects around the world, in virtually every type of aquatic system, and ranging from monitoring programs targeting a single species to research projects using eDNA to answer ecological questions at the community or ecosystem scale. Here, we highlight a few recent applications of eDNA methods.

American Bullfrog Eradication

American bullfrog removal project uses eDNA to detect bullfrog presence, evaluate the success of eradication, and assist with ongoing monitoring of freshwater systems for at-risk species. 

Sonoran Tiger Salamander Monitoring

In Arizona, eDNA helps track the few remaining populations of this endangered salamander and the threats they face, including disease and hybridization with non-native salamanders.
