EquiDNA

EquiDNA refers to the analysis of genetic material (DNA) found in environmental samples, such as water, soil, or air, to identify and monitor the presence of specific species, including animals and microorganisms. By examining this DNA, researchers can determine which species are or were recently present in a particular environment without the need for capturing or directly observing them. EquiDNA is valuable for biodiversity studies, conservation efforts, and ecological monitoring, as it provides a non-invasive, efficient way to assess the health and composition of ecosystems over time.
