eDNA Metabarcoding Reveals the Species–Area Relationship of Amphibians on the Zhoushan Archipelago [PDF]

Animals
The species–area relationship is important for understanding species diversity patterns at spatial scales, but few studies have examined the relationship using environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques.

Trait-Based Biomonitoring Using eDNA Metabarcoding to Assess Anthropogenic Disturbances on Freshwater Fish Communities. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Various anthropogenic disturbances affect the succession of aquatic habitats along dendritic river networks. Bioindicator taxa, such as fish, can be used to assess the effects of these disturbances on habitat quality. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding offers a novel approach to complement traditional sampling and analysis of bioindicator ...

Proper environmental DNA metabarcoding data transformation reveals temporal stability of fish communities in a dendritic river system

Environmental DNA, 2021
Protecting freshwater biodiversity is considered an ultimate challenge but depends on reliable surveys of species distribution and abundance which eDNA metabarcoding (environmental DNA metabarcoding) may offer.

A Comparative Analyzing of Zooplankton Community Diversity in Surface Layer Water of Reservoir Via eDNA Metabarcoding and Microscopy

Diversity, 2022
We compared two sampling methods, eDNA metabarcoding and microscope identification (MSI), for the analysis of zooplankton diversity in reservoirs with its inflow and outflow streams. The dynamic patterns of Cladocera and Rotifera at different time points

Unveiling Protist Composition and Diversity Patterns With eDNA Metabarcoding: Comparing Short- and Long-Read Approaches. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is widely used for biodiversity monitoring, but short‐read sequencing limits detailed taxonomic identification, especially for protists. In a comparison of short‐ and long‐read approaches in the Belgian North Sea, long‐read metabarcoding provided deeper taxonomic assignment under the applied workflows and improved

Environmental DNA metabarcoding from flowers reveals arthropod pollinators, plant pests, parasites, and potential predator–prey interactions while revealing more arthropod diversity than camera traps

Environmental DNA, 2023
Arthropods can strongly impact ecosystems through pollination, herbivory, predation, and parasitism. As such, characterizing arthropod biodiversity is vital to understanding ecosystem health, functions, and services.

Environmental DNA metabarcoding of water samples as a tool for monitoring Iberian freshwater fish composition.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has been increasingly used to monitor the community assemblages of a wide variety of organisms. Here, we test the efficacy of eDNA metabarcoding to assess the composition of Iberian freshwater fishes, one of the ...

Optimization of environmental DNA extraction and amplification methods for metabarcoding of deep-sea fish

MethodsX, 2021
Analyses of environmental DNA (eDNA) from macroorganisms in aquatic environments have greatly advanced in recent years. In particular, eDNA metabarcoding of fish using universal PCR primers has been reported in various waters.

Comparison of environmental DNA metabarcoding and bottom trawling for detecting seasonal fish communities and habitat preference in a highly disturbed estuary

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has been used to study fish diversity in various aquatic ecosystems. However, studies on fish community structure in estuarine ecosystems have not been well corroborated by eDNA metabarcoding, and comparisons with ...

The applicability of eDNA metabarcoding approaches for sessile benthic surveying in the Kimberley region, north‐western Australia

Environmental DNA, 2022
The application of environmental DNA technologies is a promising new approach to rapidly audit biodiversity across large‐scale, remote regions. Here, we examine the efficacy of a dual‐assay eDNA metabarcoding approach for sessile benthic bioassessments ...
