The detection of aquatic animal species using environmental DNA – a review of eDNA as a survey tool in ecology [PDF]

, 2014
1. Knowledge of species distribution is critical to ecological management and conservation biology. Effective management requires the detection of populations, which can sometimes be at low densities and is usually based on visual detection and counting.

Designing voice interfaces to support mindfulness-based pain management

Digital Health, 2023
Objective Chronic pain is a critical public health issue affecting approximately 20% of the adult population in the United States. Given the opioid crisis, there has been an urgent focus on non-addictive pain management methods including mindfulness ...

The role of extracellular DNA in uranium precipitation and biomineralisation. [PDF]

, 2016
Bacterial extra polymeric substances (EPS) have been associated with the extracellular precipitation of uranium. Here we report findings on the biomineralisation of uranium, with extracellular DNA (eDNA) used as a model biomolecule representative of EPS.

Linking the state of environmental DNA to its application for biomonitoring and stock assessment: Targeting mitochondrial/nuclear genes, and different DNA fragment lengths and particle sizes

Environmental DNA, 2022
Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is a revolutionary tool for non‐invasive, cost‐effective, and highly sensitive monitoring of species distribution and abundance; however, there remain some uncertainties related to eDNA detection and quantification, as ...

The Application of PMA (Propidium Monoazide) to Different Target Sequence Lengths of Zebrafish eDNA: A New Approach Aimed Toward Improving Environmental DNA Ecology and Biological Surveillance

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has enabled more sensitive and efficient biological monitoring than traditional methods. However, since the target species is not directly observed, interpretation of results cannot preclude process Type I errors ...

Home is where the hollow is: Revealing vertebrate tree hollow user biodiversity with eDNA metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, 2022
Tree hollows are essential for many vertebrate species, providing both nesting sites and shelter. Globally, old hollow‐bearing trees are in decline resulting in many dependent species being under threat.

Improving the reliability of eDNA data interpretation [PDF]

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2021
AbstractGlobal declines in biodiversity highlight the need to effectively monitor the density and distribution of threatened species. In recent years, molecular survey methods detecting DNA released by target‐species into their environment (eDNA) have been rapidly on the rise.

Presence of extracellular DNA in the Candida albicans biofilm matrix and its contribution to biofilms [PDF]

, 2010
DNA has been described as a structural component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in bacterial biofilms. In Candida albicans, there is a scarce knowledge concerning the contribution of extracellular DNA (eDNA) to biofilm matrix and overall structure ...

Use of environmental sequencing in evaluating fungal response to peatland degradation [PDF]

Mires and Peat
Central European peatlands are critically endangered by climate change, eutrophication, disturbed water regime and inappropriate management. This leads to their degradation, which affects all components of these habitats including fungi, and ...
