A Confidence Scoring Procedure for eDNA Metabarcoding Records and Its Application to a Global Marine Fish Dataset

Environmental DNA
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is changing the way biodiversity is surveyed in many types of ecosystems. eDNA surveys are now commonly performed and integrated into biodiversity monitoring programs and public databases.

Application of eDNA Metabarcoding Technology to Monitor the Health of Aquatic Ecosystems

Water
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is DNA isolated from environmental samples. It is distinctly different from genomic DNA, which is extracted directly from biological specimens.

A comprehensive assessment of non-indigenous species requires the combination of multi-marker eDNA metabarcoding with classical taxonomic identification.

Environment International
In marine environment, non-indigenous species (NIS) can alter natural habitats and cause biodiversity loss with important consequences for ecosystems and socio-economic activities.

Quantifying the Temporal Dynamics of Marine Biodiversity Under Anthropogenic Impacts Using eDNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA
Marine biodiversity is rapidly declining due to anthropogenic activities; however, the key causal agents of this decline remain largely elusive. Improving our understanding of anthropogenic impact on biodiversity dynamics requires fine‐scale temporal ...

A circumpolar study of surface zooplankton biodiversity of the Southern Ocean based on eDNA metabarcoding.

Environmental Research
Under pressure from climate change and fishing, the Southern Ocean ecosystems have been changing. Zooplankton plays a vital role in the food web of the Southern Ocean and is crucial for maintaining ecosystem stability. Investigating the circumpolar-scale
