Abstract We performed experiments in southwestern USA streams to evaluate the efficacy of environmental DNA ( eDNA ) sampling for two rare small‐bodied minnows: Spikedace Meda fulgida and Loach Minnow Rhinichthys cobitis . We collected eDNA by filtering 5‐L samples and compared detection sensitivity...
