Abstract

Key words

Environmental DNA: finally ready for the spotlight?

Hurdles to adoption of eDNA methods

Standardization is an essential pillar for adoption

Overcoming challenges to standards development requires international cooperation

In an environment of active methods development, how can we avoid the proliferation of potentially competing (or even contradictory) national, regional, or laboratory-specific standards?

How can we avoid the development of standards that limit rather than expand access to eDNA-based monitoring solutions?

The International eDNA Standardization Task Force is a catalyst to facilitate international standards development

A vision for the future
