Data from: A self-preserving, partially biodegradable eDNA filter

Mudsnail_qPCR.csvData from the mesocosm preservation study: method – ET = ethanol, SE = self-preserving; time_point – DNA extraction time point (number of days since sample collection); replicate – filter sample replicate for each method/time-point combination (R1 = replicate 1); SQ – Mudsnail eDNA starting quantity values in DNA copies per qPCR reactionSpotted_frog_qPCR.csvColumbia spotted frog eDNA detection data from six sampling locations and reported in starting quantity per Liter (SQ/L). Columns indicate the sampling locations and rows indicate the eDNA preservation method (ET is ethanol, SE is self-preserving). Unlike mudsnail SQ values which are reported in DNA copies, these SQ/L values are based on a tissue extract standard curve and therefore relative to the particular laboratory standard.
