NAMERS: a purpose-built reference DNA sequence database to support applied eDNA metabarcoding [PDF]

Metabarcoding and Metagenomics
Applied eDNA metabarcoding is increasingly being considered as a tool to inform management decisions, regulations, or policy development. Because these downstream considerations are coming to the forefront of eDNA applications, optimizing workflow ...

Investigating pelagic biodiversity and gelatinous zooplankton communities in the rapidly changing European Arctic: An eDNA metabarcoding survey

Environmental DNA
Fram Strait, the gateway between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, is undergoing major climate change‐induced physical and biological transformations. In particular, rapid warming and ongoing “Atlantification” are driving species range shifts and altering ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Integrating habitat based eDNA metabarcoding and conventional surveys to characterize the lake-wide structure of fish assemblages

Ecological Indicators
The combined use of traditional sampling methods and environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding provides deeper insights into the organization of ecological communities at both habitat-specific and ecosystem-wide scales.

Multi‐Seasonal eDNA Metabarcoding Highlights a Resurgence in Fish Diversity Across a Severely Impacted Estuarine Ecosystem

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic ecosystems have been in an alarming state of decline for decades. In particular, estuarine ecosystems have experienced long‐term declines in fish diversity due to factors such as habitat degradation, pollution and altered hydrology. Monitoring these systems is often limited by the difficulty and cost of conventional survey methods.

Advancing ecological assessment of the Arabian Gulf through eDNA metabarcoding: opportunities, prospects, and challenges

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Arabian Gulf (hereafter ‘the Gulf’) is renowned for its unique ecological characteristics and distinct marine life. It offers a diverse range of ecosystems that have adapted to the impacts posed by natural stress and human activities.

Health of Wild Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Smolts Along Coastal Migratory Routes in Newfoundland, Canada With and Without Salmonid Aquaculture as Assessed Using Sentinel Cages

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Declines in wild Atlantic salmon populations in the North Atlantic with migratory routes adjacent to commercial salmonid aquaculture operations in coastal marine environments have raised concerns about the potential for direct or indirect effects this industry may have on local wild populations.

Developing and Evaluating Aquatic Passive Sampling of Environmental DNA for Microbial Community Profiling

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has transformed biodiversity monitoring across taxa from bacteria to mammals, yet sample collection remains a major bottleneck. Passive sampling via adsorption and entrapment has emerged as a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of conventional active filtration.

Development and Validation of an eDNA Primer Set for Rockfishes in the Alaska Current Provides a New Tool for Fisheries Management

Environmental DNA
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding primers that target specific taxonomic groups can alleviate the common shortcoming of metabarcoding studies in differentiating closely related taxa of interest. Here, we describe the development and validation of an
