Integrating eDNA and citizen science observations to model distribution of a temperate freshwater turtle near its northern range limit

Background To determine species distributions and the factors underlying them, reliable occurrence data are crucial. Assembling such data can be challenging for species with cryptic life histories or that occur at low densities. Methods We developed species-specific eDNA protocols, from sampling thr...
