The Quadra Biomarathon: Year-round eDNA samples from Quadra Island, BC (2020-2023)

Year: 2020

Type: dataset

Abstract: This metadata catalogue provides links to an intensive eDNA-based biodiversity survey near Quadra Island, British Columbia. From 2020-2023 we collected weekly or bi-weekly eDNA samples from a fixed location in Hyacinthe Bay (50.117, -125.223). Samples were derived from triplicate 1L seawater samples collected just below the surface. Seawater was filtered using 0.22uL sterivex filters and the resulting eDNA was used for DNA metabarcoding using primers that target a 313bp fragment of the cytochrome c-oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene. These data provide fine-scale data on the diversity and seasonality of nearshore marine invertebrate communities.
