High frequency environmental DNA metabarcoding provides rapid and effective monitoring of fish community dynamics [PDF]
Long-term monitoring is critical to measure the response of biodiversity patterns and processes to human-mediated environmental pressures. This is particularly pertinent in freshwaters, where recent estimates indicated a third of all fish species are ...
