Description

<p>This dataset contains environmental DNA (eDNA) data collected along the estuarine gradient of the Rance Estuary (Brittany, France). It includes a list of detected Molecular Operational Taxonomic Units (MOTUs), their associated taxonomy, metadata, and representative DNA sequences. The data were generated using vertebrate-specific primers and aim to characterize vertebrate biodiversity and assess ecological continuity across the estuary.</p>

Geographic Coverage

The study was conducted in the Rance Estuary, located in Brittany, northwestern France. Sampling stations were distributed along the estuarine gradient, from the marine-influenced mouth near Saint-Malo to the freshwater-influenced upstream section.
