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 ...

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

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 ...

Comparative metagenomics of two shallow marine microbial communities in western Greenland

Polar Research
Metagenomic profiles of marine microbial communities from Greenlandic coastal waters remain scarce, despite the central role played by this region in discussions of global climate change. This study characterizes the taxonomic and functional structure of

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 ...

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.

Bacterial abundance and pH associate with eDNA degradation in water from various aquatic ecosystems in a laboratory setting

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has been widely used in biomonitoring and has major advantages compared to traditional methods such as counting observations. However, the persistence of eDNA within an ecosystem can lead to false-positive results on the presence
