  Like eDNA, but more sensitive to time? Sounds "environmental RNA" could be a super useful ecosystem monitoring tool if it gets developed www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/09/its-...
  It's not all about DNA. RNA could transform real-time environmental surveillance
  
  By vanishing quickly, RNA avoids DNA’s problem of lingering too long, giving ecologists a sharper, more immediate picture of life in lakes, rivers, and beyond.
