Predicted consequences of detecting Najas minor environmental DNA in Sebago Lake Maine, 2022
February 2, 2024
U.S. Geological Survey decision analysts and technical experts worked with managers and stakeholders to predict the consequences of alternative actions following environmental DNA detections of invasive Najas minor eDNA in Sebago Lake, Maine, USA. This dataset provides the consequence and model inputs for each of the alternative actions under different levels of uncertainty.

When are environmental DNA early detections of invasive species actionable?
Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling provides sensitive early detection capabilities for recently introduced taxa. However, natural resource managers struggle with how to integrate eDNA results into an early detection rapid response program because positive eDNA detections are not always indicative of an eventual infestation. We used a structured decision making (SDM) framework to evaluate appropriat
