In a field that is hyper-focused on efficiency and cost savings, environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling — or detecting fish and wildlife from traces of genetic material in the environment — has become the gold standard. Over the last decade, eDNA sampling has emerged as a powerful and cost-effective tool for national forests to obtain the data they need to make management decisions. Now, Forest Service scientists have created “biochips” that generate these high-value data even more efficiently, buoying the value of eDNA monitoring capacity far into the future.
