Eric R. Larson studies freshwater and aquatic ecosystems, with a strong focus on using environmental DNA (eDNA) traces of genetic material shed by organisms into water to detect and monitor species, including rare, elusive, and invasive ones. Much of the work centers on crayfish, fish, mussels, and other freshwater animals, examining where species live, how invasive species spread, and how to describe biodiversity through genetic tools.
