Unlocking foraminiferal genetic diversity on estuarine mudflats with eDNA metabarcoding
Environmental biomonitoring is a prerequisite for efficient evaluation and remediation of ecosystem degradation due to anthropogenic pressure or climate change. Estuaries are key habitats subject to multiple anthropogenic and natural stressors. Due to these multiple stressors, the detection of anthropogenic pressure is challenging.

Toward freshwater plant diversity surveys with eDNA barcoding and metabarcoding
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

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 ...

The effects of spatial and temporal replicate sampling on eDNA metabarcoding
Background The heterogeneous nature of environmental DNA (eDNA) and its effects on species detection and community composition estimates has been highlighted in several studies in the past decades. Mostly in the context of spatial distribution over large areas, in fewer occasions looking at spatial distribution ...

Guidance and best practices for species identification using eDNA metabarcoding – When do you call a cod a cod? [PDF]
With the rapid uptake of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding for a wide range of conservation and management uses, there is a growing need for guidance and best practices for species identification. A range of methodological and interpretive decisions

Using eDNA Metabarcoding for the Analysis of Fish Communities in Rivers
The present study aims to assess the effectiveness of eDNA metabarcoding for the analysis of fish communities in rivers. The findings suggest that the methodology attained an accuracy rate of 80% for species identification and was able to detect between 79.2% and 87.5% of the fish species recorded in the fish monitoring database for three rivers of ...
