Data and Scripts for Tulloch et al - Sampling design influence on airborne eDNA detection

This dataset accompanies the study "A simple passive sampler reveals how sampling design influences airborne eDNA detection". The experiment assessed how filter size, sampling duration, and post-collection storage impacts target-species detection sensitivity and community recovery.

Data types included:

Raw qPCR data: Replicate Ct values across multiple experiments targeting rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), shingleback lizard (Tiliqua rugosa), and tiger (Panthera tigris).

Raw metabarcoding data: 12SV5 and Mam12 amplification sequencing products across multiple experiments

Processed FAIRe-formatted metadata: qPCR and metabarcoding metadata and processed data products encompassing multiple experiments

R script repository: Annotated analysis scripts used to process and analyse project data and produce manuscript figures and tables.
