Environmental DNA mitochondrial markers to assess potential occupancy of Endangered Yaqui catfish in the Yaqui River basin, Mexico
Acquiring data on rare and threatened species can be challenging, particularly in remote areas.Environmental DNA (eDNA) offers a less effort-intensive method for detecting species compared to physical fish sampling methods.In our study, we focused on the Endangered Yaqui catfish Ictalurus pricei, a freshwater fish endemic to the Sonoran desert in A
