Summary
The dataset includes measurements of stream habitat, fish abundance of westslope cutthroat trout and bull trout, and species-specific measures of environmental DNA (eDNA) from within the water. The data covers multiple streams in western Montana.
Summary
The dataset includes measurements of stream habitat, fish abundance of westslope cutthroat trout and bull trout, and species-specific measures of environmental DNA (eDNA) from within the water. The data covers multiple streams in western Montana.
The data were collected to evaluate how species-specific measures of the amount of environmental DNA (eDNA) in the water correlates with species-specific measures of fish abundance at sites. In addition, habitat data were collected to evaluate how differences in habitat across sites accounted for the variability in eDNA at these sites.
