A manager’s guide to using eDNA metabarcoding in marine ecosystems [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a powerful tool that can enhance marine ecosystem/biodiversity monitoring programs. Here we outline five important steps managers and researchers should consider when developing eDNA monitoring program: (1 ...

Unveiling Vertebrate Biodiversity in Arid and Semi‐Arid Terrestrial Ecosystems Through eDNA Metabarcoding at Savanna Waterholes [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications
Applying environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to samples from waterholes and their surroundings offers a promising approach for monitoring terrestrial vertebrates in semi‐arid and arid ecosystems, such as the southern African savannas. However, minimal

Microeukaryotic plankton community dynamics under ecological water replenishment: Insights from eDNA metabarcoding. [PDF]

Environ Sci Ecotechnol
Ecological water replenishment (EWR) is an important strategy for river restoration globally, but timely evaluation of its ecological effects at a large spatiotemporal scale to further adjust the EWR schemes is of great challenge.

eDNA metabarcoding reveals differences in fish diversity and community structure in Danjiang River. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Fish diversity, an important indicator of aquatic ecosystem health, is declining due to water pollution, overfishing, climate change, and invasive species. Effective surveying and monitoring are required to protect fish diversity.

Detecting kelp-forest associated metazoan biodiversity with eDNA metabarcoding. [PDF]

NPJ Biodivers
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a promising tool for monitoring marine biodiversity, but remains underutilised in Africa. In this study, we evaluated the ability of aquatic eDNA metabarcoding as a tool for detecting biodiversity associated with

Biodiversity and distribution patterns of blooming jellyfish in the Bohai Sea revealed by eDNA metabarcoding. [PDF]

BMC Ecol Evol
Background The mass occurrence of scyphozoan jellyfish severely affects marine ecosystems and coastal economies, and the study of blooming jellyfish population dynamics has emerged in response.

eDNA metabarcoding reveals the role of habitat specialization and spatial and environmental variability in shaping diversity patterns of fish metacommunities. [PDF]

PLoS One
Information is scarce on how environmental and dispersal processes interact with biological features of the organisms, such as their habitat affinity, to influence patterns in biodiversity. We examined the role of habitat specialist vs.
