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 ...

eDNA metabarcoding enriches traditional trawl survey data for monitoring biodiversity in the marine environment

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2023
Marine Protected Areas require comprehensive monitoring to ensure objectives are achieved; however, monitoring natural ecosystems at scale is challenged by the biodiversity it aims to measure.

Toward freshwater plant diversity surveys with eDNA barcoding and metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, 2023
Providing reliable, cost‐effective data on species distribution is critical to ensuring biodiversity conservation. However, many species may go unrecorded by conventional surveys, especially in aquatic environments. Environmental DNA (eDNA) barcoding and

Water stratification in the marine biome restricts vertical environmental DNA (eDNA) signal dispersal

Environmental DNA, 2020
Background The utility of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding surveys to accurately detect species depends on the degree of DNA dispersal. Multiple marine studies have observed only minimal eDNA transport by horizontal water movement across small ...

Application of eDNA Metabarcoding for Detecting Anura on a Tropical Island

Diversity, 2021
As anuran biodiversity quickly declines, it is important to understand local patterns of anuran occurrence. However, the limitations of traditional sampling methods make anuran biodiversity surveys inadequate.

BeeDNA: Microfluidic environmental DNA metabarcoding as a tool for connecting plant and pollinator communities

Environmental DNA, 2023
Pollinators are declining globally, and this loss can reduce plant reproduction, erode critical ecosystem services and resilience, and drive economic losses. Monitoring pollinator biodiversity trends is essential for adaptive conservation and management,

Effect of eDNA metabarcoding temporal sampling strategies on detection of coastal biodiversity

Frontiers in Marine Science
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding of water is increasingly being used to monitor coastal biodiversity shifts. However, we have limited knowledge of whether samples collected during discreet temporal periods depict holistic ecosystem changes over ...
