Quantification by droplet digital PCR and species identification by metabarcoding of environmental (e)DNA from Blainville's beaked whales, with assisted localization from an acoustic array.

Quantification by droplet digital PCR and species identification by metabarcoding of environmental (e)DNA from Blainville's beaked whales, with assisted localization from an acoustic array.

Detection and identification of species, subspecies or stocks of whales, dolphins and porpoises at sea remain challenging, particularly for cryptic or elusive species like beaked whales (Family: Ziphiidae). Here we investigated the potential for using an acoustically assisted sampling design to coll...
