Burrowing crustaceans leave validated eDNA signatures in seabed sediments

Burrowing crustaceans leave validated eDNA signatures in seabed sediments, and those signatures persist far longer than expected. In tank experiments, the sedDNA of *Upogebia major* remained detectable for at least 30 days, and up to 50, with no substantial concentration change. This challenges assumptions about eDNA degradation and underscores the need for taxon-specific persistence data. Understanding drives protection.
