This data release documents specificity of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays to detect environmental DNA (eDNA) from tilapia, western mosquito fish and guppies. These assays provide new tools for resource managers to monitor effectiveness of management efforts to remove invasive fish from anchialine pools in Hawaii and to also survey pools for presence and absence of invasive fish. The lab work was conducted during 2019-2022.
This data release documents results of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays to detect environmental DNA (eDNA) from tilapia, western mosquito fish and guppies in pools with known fish populations and in pre and post-treatment samples from pools that were treated with carbon dioxide gas. These assays provide new tools for resource managers to monitor effectiveness of management efforts to remove invasive fish from anchialine pools in Hawaii and to also survey pools for presence and absence of invasive fish. The lab work was conducted during 2019-2022.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection is a rapidly expanding technique used to non-invasively detect cryptic, low density, or logistically difficult-to-study species, such as imperiled manatees. Genetic material shed into the environment through tissue and body fluids is concentrated from water samples and analyzed for the presence of targeted eDNA. To help delineate manatee habitat ranges, high use areas, and seasonal population changes, a cytochrome-b quantitative PCR and state-of-the-art droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) eDNA assay was developed for the three extant and vulnerable manatee species: both subspecies of the West Indian manatee (Florida and Antillean), the African manatee and Amazonian manatee.

In 2016, a multidisciplinary team from the U.S. Geological Survey Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center, National Park Service, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Montana State University’s Department of Microbiology and Immunology in cooperation with the Teton Conservation District, initiated a small study to document the presence or absence of Naegleria fowleri at several hot springs in Grand Teton National Park/John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Over four sampling events in 2016-2017, Naegleria fowleri was detected in several of the Grand Teton National Park/John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway hot springs for the first time. Additionally, the team found that the prevalence of Naegleria...
