We develop robotic solutions to automate the collection of environmental DNA in terrestrial ecosystems. We are currently testing drones to autonomously aggregate and collect surface eDNA from vegetation. Recently, we have also started to explore the collection of airborne eDNA while drones are in flight. Our results indicate that drones enable efficient eDNA surveys at different spatial and temporal scales, even in hard-to-reach environments (e.g. forest canopies).
