🧬 My haplotype paper is out!
We show that deviations between within-sample and population-level haplotype frequencies can be used to estimate how many individuals contributed to an eDNA sample.
No tissue references needed, just metabarcoding data and some population genetics.

Estimating Organism Abundance Using Within‐Sample Haplotype Frequencies of eDNA Data
Environmental DNA (eDNA) provides powerful insights into species presence and community composition but remains limited in its capacity to infer species abundance or population structure. Here, we sh...
