Description
Summary:Environmental DNA [eDNA] metabarcoding has recently emerged as a non-destructive alternative to traditional sampling for characterising species assemblages. We here provide a consistent dataset synthetising all eDNA sampling sites in French Guiana to date. Field collections have been initiated in 2014 and have continued until 2019. This dataset is however a work in progress and will be updated after each collecting campaign. We also provide a taxon by site matrix for fishes presence / absence as inferred from eDNA. Our aim is to allow a transparent communication to the stakeholders and provide the foundation for a monitoring programme based on eDNA. The lastest version of the dataset is publicly and freely accessible through the CEBA geoportal (http://vmcebagn-dev.ird.fr) or through the French Guiana geographic portal (https://www.geoguyane.fr).
