Abstract
DNA from environmental samples (eDNA) is increasingly being used to detect and monitor elusive species. We developed species-specific eDNA primers and probes for qPCR detection of 24 amphibian species native to Ontario, Canada. Cross-species testing confirmed their high specificity and low cross-species amplification, as well as their ability to detect DNA from target species at low concentrations. These detection tools should prove useful for monitoring at-risk amphibian species throughout their native ranges.
