Optimizing a Novel eDNA‐Based Framework for Reef Fish Biodiversity Monitoring Using an Autonomous Filtration System and in situ Nanopore Sequencing

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study presents a comprehensive eDNA metabarcoding protocol optimized for monitoring fish biodiversity in coral reefs and other remote marine environments. By combining an autonomous underwater filtration system, Oxford Nanopore sequencing, and a 12S reference database specifically developed for French Polynesia, the method enables efficient and ...

Mitogenomic and Metabarcoding Resources for the Study and Conservation of Keystone Neotropical Raptors

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We characterized complete mitochondrial genomes for nine keystone Neotropical raptors, including four threatened and five near‐threatened species, providing essential resources for phylogenetic and conservation studies. We also developed metabarcoding primers, enabling non‐invasive monitoring of Neotropical raptors via environmental DNA.

Genomics‐Based Approaches to Ant Monitoring in Land Management: Validation of COI Metabarcoding Primers

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
We validated ant‐specific COI metabarcoding primers using in silico, in vitro and in situ analyses, identifying assays that improve ant detection from mock communities, spike‐in tests and soil eDNA. The recommended assays reduce reliance on taxonomic expertise and enable scalable, high‐throughput ant biomonitoring for land‐management applications ...

Spatial analysis of demersal food webs through integration of eDNA metabarcoding with fishing activities

Frontiers in Marine Science
The evaluation of the status of marine communities, and especially the monitoring of those heavily exploited by fisheries, is a key, challenging task in marine sciences.

Comparison of Environmental DNA Metabarcoding and Trawl Data Highlights Gear Selectivity of Marine Demersal Fish Surveys on the Faroese Plateau

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
The study compared trawl and eDNA metabarcoding of demersal fish communities in an open ocean environment around the Faroe Islands. eDNA provided a comparable assessment of demersal species biomass and revealed additional spatial information on keystone species known to be under‐sampled by demersal trawls due to size and behavioral traits.

Environmental DNA and biodiversity patterns: a call for a community phylogenetics approach

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a relatively new technology allowing effective non-invasive analyses and monitoring of biodiversity patterns.

Taxonomic accuracy and complementarity between bulk and eDNA metabarcoding provides an alternative to morphology for biological assessment of freshwater macroinvertebrates.

Science of the Total Environment
Determining biological status of freshwater ecosystems is critical for ensuring ecosystem health and maintaining associated services to such ecosystems.

Passive Gauze‐Based eDNA Sampler Proves Efficient and Cost‐Effective in the Marine Environment

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Here, we present the first empirical comparison of the metaprobe 2.0, a low‐cost, passive eDNA sampler, against an industry standard Sterivex filtration method using dip‐collected 1‐L water samples (“water bottles”). Across 14 joint deployments, we assessed detection and quantification of eDNA of two elasmobranch and two teleost species. While Sterivex

Recovering plant-associated arthropod communities by eDNA metabarcoding historical herbarium specimens.

Current Biology
Natural history collections are a priceless resource for understanding patterns and processes of biodiversity change in the Anthropocene.1 Herbaria, which house millions of historical plant records from all over the globe, are particularly valuable to ...
