How does eDNA decay affect metabarcoding experiments? [PDF]
Environmental DNA, 2022 The detection of species using environmental DNA (eDNA) relies on our capacity to identify DNA from the sampled environment. Once eDNA is released into the environment, the physical degradation of individual eDNA molecules over time directly affects our ...

eDNA metabarcoding for biodiversity assessment, generalist predators as sampling assistants [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractWith an accelerating negative impact of anthropogenic actions on natural ecosystems, non-invasive biodiversity assessments are becoming increasingly crucial. As a consequence, the interest in the application of environmental DNA (eDNA) survey techniques has increased.

Maximizing fish detection with eDNA metabarcoding [PDF]
Environmental DNA, 2020 AbstractFish biodiversity can be measured by capturing and then sequencing free DNA present in water. Such environmental DNA (eDNA) methods offer an effective, noninvasive tool for species diversity measurement, although standardized protocols are not yet developed. We investigate how metrics of fish biodiversity revealed through eDNA analysis of water

Insights in Pharmaceutical Pollution: The Prospective Role of eDNA Metabarcoding
Toxics, 2023 Environmental pollution is a growing threat to natural ecosystems and one of the world’s most pressing concerns. The increasing worldwide use of pharmaceuticals has elevated their status as significant emerging contaminants. Pharmaceuticals enter aquatic environments through multiple pathways related to anthropogenic activity.

Development of an eDNA metabarcoding tool for surveying the world’s largest amphibian [PDF]
Current Zoology, 2021 AbstractDue to the overexploitation of farming, as well as habitat destruction, the wild population of Chinese giant salamander (CGS) Andrias davidianus, a species with seven genetically distinct lineages, has decreased by over 80% in the past 70 years.

Nuclear eDNA metabarcoding primers for anthozoan coral biodiversity assessment
PeerJ, 2023 The distributions of anthozoan corals are undercharacterized due to their wide bathymetric ranges, occurrences in remote locales, and difficulties of identification from morphology alone. Environmental DNA (eDNA) sequencing promises to be a noninvasive strategy to complement conventional approaches for mapping and monitoring the ...

Harnessing the power of eDNA metabarcoding for the detection of deep-sea fishes [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2020 Abstract The deep ocean is the largest biome on Earth and faces increasing anthropogenic pressures from climate change and commercial fisheries. Our ability to sustainably manage this expansive habitat is impeded by our poor understanding of its inhabitants and by the difficulties in surveying and monitoring these areas.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is widely used for species analysis, while the use of environmental RNA (eRNA) metabarcoding is more limited. We conducted comparative eDNA/eRNA metabarcoding of the algae and arthropods (aquatic insects) in water ...

eDNA metabarcoding as a biomonitoring tool for marine protected areas
PLOS ONE, 2020 Abstract Monitoring of marine protected areas (MPAs) is critical for marine ecosystem management, yet current protocols rely on SCUBA-based visual surveys that are costly and time consuming, limiting their scope and effectiveness.

Aquatic suspended particulate matter as source of eDNA for fish metabarcoding [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractThe use of environmental DNA (eDNA) for monitoring aquatic macrofauna allows the non-invasive species determination and measurement of their DNA abundance and typically involves the analysis of eDNA captured from water samples. In this proof-of-concept study, we focused on the novel use of eDNA extracted from archived suspended particulate ...
