eDNA metabarcoding of log hollow sediments and soils highlights the importance of substrate type, frequency of sampling and animal size, for vertebrate species detection

Environmental DNA, 2022
Fauna monitoring often relies on visual monitoring techniques such as camera trapping, which have biases leading to underestimates of vertebrate species diversity.

eDNA in a bottleneck: obstacles to fish metabarcoding studies in megadiverse freshwater systems [PDF]

Environmental DNA, 2021
ABSTRACT The current capacity of environmental DNA (eDNA) to provide accurate insights into the biodiversity of megadiverse regions (e.g., the Neotropics) requires further evaluation to ensure its reliability for long-term monitoring. In this study, we first evaluated the taxonomic resolution capabilities of a short fragment from the ...

Monitoring newt communities in urban area using eDNA metabarcoding

PeerJ, 2021
Newts are amphibians commonly present in small ponds or garden pools in urban areas. They are protected in many countries and their presence is monitored through visual observation and/or trapping. However, newts are not easy to spot as they are small, elusive and often hidden at the bottom of water bodies.

Environmental DNA metabarcoding for fish community analysis in backwater lakes: A comparison of capture methods.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods for community analysis has recently been developed. High-throughput parallel DNA sequencing (HTS), called eDNA metabarcoding, has been increasingly used in eDNA studies to examine multiple species.

Monitoring riverine fish communities through eDNA metabarcoding: determining optimal sampling strategies along an altitudinal and biodiversity gradient [PDF]

Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2018
Monitoring aquatic biodiversity through DNA extracted from environmental samples (eDNA) combined with high-throughput sequencing, commonly referred to as eDNA metabarcoding, is increasing in popularity within the scientific community.

Simultaneous analysis of the intestinal parasites and diet through eDNA metabarcoding

Integrative Zoology, 2022
AbstractAgricultural expansion and intensification are having a huge impact on plant and arthropod diversity and abundance, affecting food availability for farmland birds. Difficult food access, in turn, can lead to immunosuppression and a higher incidence of parasites. In the studies designed to examine changes in the diet of birds and their parasites,

Environmental DNA metabarcoding of fish communities in a small hydropower dam reservoir: a comparison between the eDNA approach and established fishing methods

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2022
Environmental DNA methods have emerged as a promising tool in fish diversity studies and fishery management in various aquatic ecosystems. However, eDNA metabarcoding of fish communities in small hydropower dam reservoirs has received limited attention ...
