Abstract
The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) is rapidly emerging as a potentially valuable survey technique for
substantial cost and manpower requirements of traditional survey methods have hampered attempts to
science-based monitoring programme for great crested newts by (i) comparing the effectiveness of eDNA
to collect eDNA samples throughout the newt’s UK range. In 35 ponds visited four times through the
counts and egg searches were significantly less effective, detecting newts 76%, 75% and 44% of the time.
counts of the number of newts. Volunteers successfully collected eDNA samples across the UK with
either because of very small newt populations or practical difficulties in sample collection. There were no
the basis for a national great crested newt monitoring programme.
