Development, testing and use of four species-specific qPCR assays for freshwater mussel eDNA detection in the Niobrara River
December 21, 2023
This data consists of information on the specificity and sensitivity of 4 species specific qPCR assays for the detection of eDNA from 4 species of freshwater mussels, specifically Lampsilis cardium, Lampsilis siliquoidea, Pyganodon grandis, and Anodontoides ferussacianus. The data also contain the results of eDNA sampling in Niobrara River at Niobrara National Scenic River and Agate Fossil Beds National Monument for detection of these 4 species.
