Airborne eDNA Transport Models for Rotterdam Zoo, 31.5 MB

Model datasets and scripts for calculating wind-directed catchment areas of airborne environmental DNA (eDNA). The data was collected at the Rotterdam Zoo in the Netherlands and authored by Kathryn Stewart. The dataset was last updated on April 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling airborne eDNA transport distances based on wind patterns mentioned in the description
• Calibrating eDNA sampling strategies for zoological environments based on the catchment area models
• Studying the relationship between wind direction and genetic material capture in an outdoor setting

Strengths

• Includes Python scripts (IPYNB, PY) for model reproduction.
• Contains Excel (XLSX) files likely with model parameters or results.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
