Persistence of environmental DNA in marine systems [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2018 AbstractAs environmental DNA (eDNA) becomes an increasingly valuable resource for marine ecosystem monitoring, understanding variation in its persistence across contrasting environments is critical. Here, we quantify the breakdown of macrobial eDNA over a spatio-temporal axis of locally extreme conditions, varying from ocean-influenced offshore to ...

Environmental DNA, 2022 The application of environmental DNA technologies is a promising new approach to rapidly audit biodiversity across large‐scale, remote regions. Here, we examine the efficacy of a dual‐assay eDNA metabarcoding approach for sessile benthic bioassessments ...

BiologyMitochondrial genomes are powerful tools for taxonomic delimitation and species identification, yet they remain scarce for Chironomidae (Diptera). In this study, we assembled and annotated 63 new mitochondrial genomes, encompassing 63 species within 39 ...

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Environmental DNA (eDNA) research is transforming biomonitoring at a global scale, but applicability to reptiles has been restricted because of their presumed low shedding rate. Consequently, eDNA may have considerable limitations as a biomonitoring tool

Data Structure-Aware Ensemble Modeling for Time-Series Prediction: A Case Study of Sewage Generation
Applied SciencesThis study investigates the influence of time-series data structure on model behavior in sewage generation estimation. Annual data from four regions (2017–2023) were analyzed using Random Forest (RF) and Voting Regressor (VR), while structural ...

Environmental DNA for conservation
, 2021 Abstract Detection and monitoring of wildlife species of concern is a costly and time-consuming challenge that is critical to the management of such species. Tools such as lures and traps can cause unnecessary stress or other health impacts to sensitive species.

Persistence of Environmental DNA in Freshwater Ecosystems
PLoS ONE, 2011 The precise knowledge of species distribution is a key step in conservation biology. However, species detection can be extremely difficult in many environments, specific life stages and in populations at very low density. The aim of this study was to improve the knowledge on DNA persistence in water in order to confirm the presence of the focus species
