Government open data plus Dongsha and reservoir studies move Taiwan beyond isolated trials.
TW1 ↗ALTERNATIVE VIEW · 10 AUG 2026
One screen.
Four decisions.
A translation layer for training, methods, tool discovery, and exchange—not an original-research institute.
WL1 ↗Marine, freshwater, agricultural, Arctic, and computational capability; no national eDNA mandate found.
DETAIL ↗A method can be scientifically valid before it is accepted for a particular government decision.
POLICY MATURITY
Selective,
not universal.
No defensible global adoption percentage exists.Accepted evidence
England allows eDNA within great-crested-newt planning surveys.
PV1 ↗Scaled systems
Strategies, dashboards, open datasets, and exchange pipelines.
PV2 ↗Operational targets
USGS programmes are active; NOAA and Sweden are still integrating and validating.
PV4 ↗Shared baseline
ISO aligns water capture and preservation, not the full decision method.
D3 ↗INTERPRETATION
Know what
the signal says.
PRESENCE
Strongest default useA detection can support a search or trigger confirmation.
OCCUPANCY
Needs designReplication and a model are required to estimate site use.
ABUNDANCE
Calibration-heavyRaw copy number is not a universal count of organisms.
POLICY
Decision-specificA valid assay still needs an accepted evidence rule.
