1.3.1. Environmental DNA as a source for DNA-derived occurrence data - minor text edit #179

In the following section: https://docs.gbif-uat.org/publishing-dna-derived-data/1.3/en/#environmental-dna-as-a-source-for-dna-derived-occurrence-data

I suggest to change the line:

In practice, however, the presence of DNA in the environmental sample depends on the habitat selection, the body size, morphology and activity level of the organism, and the sampling methods used to capture it (Taberlet et al. 2018) as well as the stage of DNA degradation.

In practice, however, the presence of DNA in the environmental sample depends on an organisms habitat selection, body size, morphology and activity level. Also, the sampling methods used to capture the DNA (Taberlet et al. 2018) and the stage of DNA degradation can affect the presence of DNA.

or something similar. Currently, the sentence is quite a long read.
