Exploring Mesophotic Coral Reef Boundaries Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding reveals boundaries along depth gradients in shallow and mesophotic coral reefs. Analysis of metazoan amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) uncovers changes in community structure from shallow to deep reefs, highlighting a localized eDNA footprint and its potential for monitoring mesophotic and deep‐sea habitats ...
