Environmental DNA Surveys of Invertebrate Community on Forest Canopies Using Rainwater Analysis. collection

By comparing eDNA analysis results from rainwater with conventional records by visual and capture surveys, this research aims to validate the effectiveness and reliability of this method. Initial findings suggest that eDNA analysis from rainwater could provide an efficient approach to canopy biodiversity surveys, though further validation is needed. This study represents an initial step towards developing eDNA analysis as a complementary tool for forest canopy research.
