This difference meant there was an increase in the proportion of the eDNA sample made up of small particles as we moved "downstream". More evidence that eDNA removal in streams is an interplay of physical and biotic factors. And this can be influenced by temp!

So what did we find?
At higher temps, small eDNA particles (0.2–1.0 μm), were removed faster than at lower temps, while removal rates were consistent across temps for larger eDNA particles (>1.0 μm).
At higher temps, small eDNA particles (0.2–1.0 μm), were removed faster than at lower temps, while removal rates were consistent across temps for larger eDNA particles (>1.0 μm).

We conditioned these handy recirculating mesocosms (at #NotreDame) under a range of temperatures. Then we added #eDNA from from two fish species and and took H2O samples over time to measure removal rates for different eDNA sizes. SO to @abagaelpruitt.bsky.social letting me use her experiment setup!
