UAA Webinar: Evaluating the use of eDNA as a monitoring technique for pollinators on rights-of-way
March 19, 2025
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CDT
Utility Rights-of-Way (ROW) comprise significant landholdings in the U.S. and may serve as important habitat for pollinators. Pollinators are typically surveyed on ROWs using traditional techniques such as trapping or visual observations. However, environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging technique to detect species and monitor biodiversity through traces of DNA left behind in the environment and may provide a new method for assessing pollinators. This webinar will share results from several field studies evaluating the use of eDNA for pollinator monitoring.
