eDNA Is a Useful Environmental Monitoring Tool for Assessing Stream Ecological Health
Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 4, July–August 2024.Ecosystem health assessments made by traditional biomonitoring techniques were compared to those made using eDNA at 53 sites throughout New Zealand. We found a high degree of correlation and convergence between biotic indices calculated from traditional biomonitoring techniques and from eDNA.

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 7, July 2024.Using DNA deposited in deep‐sea sediments, we examine how marine biodiversity has changed over the last 150 years in Chilean waters. We find a unique period aligning with high fishing and extreme climatic events that reduces overall diversity. Furthermore, we find an effect of sea surface temperature and El Nino events over diversity, providing an idea
