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.

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.

Pollen DNA metabarcoding identifies regional provenance and high plant diversity in Australian honey

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Accurate identification of the botanical components of honey can be used to establish its geographical provenance, while also providing insights into honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) diet and foraging preferences. DNA metabarcoding has been demonstrated as a

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

TreeSpider: In‐Canopy Exploration With Tether‐Based Aerial Modular Arms

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A tethered drone with perching arms and a 360° ring enables unprecedented maneuverability within dense forest canopies. By dynamically adjusting tether length and decoupling pitch from the frame, it navigates between branches, senses multiple trees, and interacts physically with foliage.
