Note the dead fish contributing DNA to the system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617833a953c01717c225b650/d08abab1-2d7b-4d01-91f1-0cd6e5ce0d32/eDNA+infographic-4.jpg Concepts & Resources - Environmental DNA explained eDNA visualized (4): Even after the animals have left the area, the eDNA remains (for some time). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617833a953c01717c225b650/73f3cfc7-ea8e-48cd-92f6-26bb1f32acb6/eDNA+infographic-6.jpg Concepts & Resources - Environmental DNA explained eDNA visualized (5): Sources of eDNA include mucus and saliva production, excretion, skin/scales, whole cells, and free DNA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617833a953c01717c225b650/258a6c47-4cad-41a6-9a1e-fb1f3160e7ff/eDNA+infographic-7.jpg Concepts & Resources - Environmental DNA explained eDNA visualized (6): The eDNA accumulates in both the water column and can sink to the bottom where it accumulates in the substrate. In aquatic systems, eDNA can be collected from both environment types. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617833a953c01717c225b650/aad18d2f-ae9a-4995-8acb-c39271ad76dc/eDNA+infographic-8.jpg Concepts & Resources - Environmental DNA explained eDNA visualized (7): Once eDNA enters the environment, it is affected by factors including UV, oxygen, pH, and salinity levels, temperature, and other microbes in area. These factors degrade the eDNA and influence how long it will be detectable within the system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617833a953c01717c225b650/47e311ac-98f4-4e96-8b23-d242d37cb532/eDNA+infographic-1.jpg Concepts & Resources - Environmental DNA explained eDNA visualized (8): Eventually, the eDNA will no longer be detectable in the area.
