A manager’s guide to using eDNA metabarcoding in marine ecosystems [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a powerful tool that can enhance marine ecosystem/biodiversity monitoring programs. Here we outline five important steps managers and researchers should consider when developing eDNA monitoring program: (1 ...

Minimizing polymerase biases in metabarcoding
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2018 AbstractDNA metabarcoding is an increasingly popular method to characterize and quantify biodiversity in environmental samples. Metabarcoding approaches simultaneously amplify a short, variable genomic region, or “barcode,” from a broad taxonomic group via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using universal primers that anneal to flanking conserved ...

Ichthyoplankton DNA metabarcoding: Challenges and perspectives [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2021 DNA metabarcoding has been widely used to access and monitor species. However, several challenges remain open for its mainstream application in ecological studies, particularly when dealing with a quantitative approach. In a From the Cover article in this issue of Molecular Ecology, Mariac et al. (2021) report species‐level ichthyoplankton dynamics for

DNA Metabarcoding of Amazonian Ichthyoplankton Swarms
PLOS ONE, 2017 Les forêts tropicales humides abritent une biodiversité extraordinaire. On pense que le bassin amazonien abrite 30 % de toutes les espèces de poissons de rivière dans le monde. Les informations sur l'écologie, la reproduction et le recrutement de la plupart des espèces font toujours défaut, ce qui entrave la gestion des pêches et le succès des ...
