Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is a promising tool for the sensitive and effective monitoring of species distribution and abundance. Traditional eDNA analysis has targeted mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) fragments due to their abundance in cells; however, the quantification may vary depending on cell type and physiology. Conversely, some recent eDNA studies have targeted multi-copy nuclear DNA (nuDNA) fragments, such as ribosomal RNA genes, in water, and reported a higher detectability and more rapid degradation than mitochondrial eDNA (mt-eDNA). These properties suggest that nuclear eDNA (nu-eDNA) may be useful for the accurate estimation of species abundance relative to mt-eDNA, but which remains unclear. In this study, we compiled previous studies and re-analyzed the relationships between mt- and nu-eDNA concentration and species abundance by comparing theR2values of the linear regression. We then performed an aquarium experiment using zebrafish (Danio rerio) to compare the relationships across genetic regions, including single-copy nuDNA. We found more accurate relationships between multi-copy nu-eDNA and species abundance than mt-eDNA in these datasets, although the difference was not significant upon weighted-averaging theR2values. Moreover, we compared the decay rate constants of zebrafish eDNA across genetic regions and found that multi-copy nu-eDNA degraded faster than mt-eDNA under pH 7, implying a quick turnover of multi-copy nu-eDNA in the field. Although further empirical studies of nu-eDNA applications are necessary to support our findings, this study provides the groundwork for improving the estimation accuracy of species abundance via eDNA analysis.
