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.

Multitrophic responses to tidal marsh restoration: early effects of channel configuration on water quality, aquatic food web structure, and fish communities

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Tidal wetland restoration is critical for reversing habitat loss and enhancing resilience under sea‐level rise and climate variability. Dutch Slough in the San Francisco Estuary served as a living laboratory for adaptive management.

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 ...

Selective seasonal foraging behavior of herbivores on a Danish island demonstrated by DNA metabarcoding

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Understanding how herbivores influence plant communities is critical for managing biodiversity and ecosystem functions, particularly in conservation areas undergoing restoration or rewilding, where free‐ranging large herbivores impact the vegetation development.

Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.

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

Adult Blow Flies Host Diverse Carrion‐Associated Microbiomes

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) perform important yet often overlooked roles in ecosystems as decomposers, pollinators and vectors of disease. Central to these functions are their associations with microbial communities, which are maintained through close contact with diverse microbe‐rich substrates such as carrion, dung and flowers.

Unravelling β‐Diversity and the Role of Small Streams in Shaping Fish Communities Using a National‐Scale eDNA Database

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.
The role of river size on fish communities remains underexplored in freshwater ecology. Small streams, despite accounting for 75% of stream length, are more vulnerable to human impacts and often lack legislative protection. Nevertheless, they can serve as refuges and rearing areas for fish, including rare or threatened species.

Riding the Storm: Microeukaryote Community Responses to Hurricane Disturbance

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Sandy beaches are dynamic ecosystems where terrestrial and marine organisms coexist, resulting in diverse communities where microeukaryotes (protists, microalgae, and meiofauna) are key drivers. Understanding their diversity patterns and responses to stressors is essential for elucidating ecological processes, yet information on this subject ...

Validation of fish environmental RNA metabarcoding analysis for ecological surveys by additional traditional field surveys in the Naka River

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Metabarcoding analysis using fish environmental RNA (eRNA) has demonstrated higher performance compared to that using fish environmental DNA (eDNA) in the Naka River in Japan.
