Ecological trait evaluation using eDNA/eRNA metabarcoding analyses to identify false positives. (A) Scatter plot between eRNA and eDNA read numbers for arthropods and species' habitat. (B) Differences in eDNA/eRNA read numbers between aquatic and terrestrial arthropods. (C) Scatter plot between eRNA read numbers and eDNA read numbers in algae and ecological traits related to false positives, (Left) attached or planktonic (Right) fresh water or seawater and brackish water. **p < 0.01.
