Development and validation of rapid eDNA detection method for yellow mud turtle, Kinosternon flavescens: a field study in South Texas, USA by Sakib Tahmid Rishan, Richard J. Kline, Richard J. Kline, Md Saydur Rahman, Md Saydur Rahman

“…Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is a potential method for identifying cryptic and elusive turtle species in aquatic ecosystems. eDNA analysis can help to identify key regions for conservation efforts and monitor changes in population levels over time. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a rapid eDNA detection method for the yellow mud turtle (Kinosternon flavescens, an indicator species that is endangered in some states in the USA), which inhabits local oxbow lakes (e.g., resacas) in Cameron County, South Texas. …”
