Abstract:Environmental DNA and RNA (eDNA/eRNA) can serve as molecular tools for biodiversity monitoring and biosecurity surveillance. However, uncertainties still exist regarding the persistence and dynamics of marine nucleic acids in the environment and the effects of post‐sampling storage on species detectability. To bridge these gaps, an experiment was conducted in an Auckland marina, a known New Zealand entry point for marine non‐indigenous species (NIS). We targeted a prominent invader, the Mediterranean fanworm S… Show more
