Comparative Assessment of Freshwater Biodiversity in Los Morales Reservoir (Madrid) Using eDNA Collected From Sponges and Water Filtration

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Filters and freshwater sponge tissue recover a comparable number of taxa through eDNA metabarcoding. Filters detect more taxa, followed by sponge tissue when host‐blocking primers are used. Each method reveals different community compositions, so combining both approaches is recommended to achieve a more realistic representation of the metazoan ...

From Nest Box to Neighborhood: Patterns of Island Biodiversity Characterized Through eDNA From Little Blue Penguin (Eudyptula minor) Nest Boxes

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
There are many environmental DNA (eDNA) sources within and around a seabird nest. These DNA traces from soil, plant material, feathers, feces, and other nest components enable detection of a wide range of taxa, including plants, fungi, insects, arachnids, mollusks, reptiles, and other vertebrates. Here, we used DNA from nest box feces to obtain signals

Faunistic analysis of freshwater zooplankton in small rock pools of Maritime Antarctica

open access: yesУкраїнський антарктичний журнал, 2022
Small water bodies like the rock pools are used as a model system for evolutionary and environmental studies with a growing interest. The zooplankton in the rock pools is a most interesting and promising research object.

Unraveling Long‐Term Microsporidia Diversity and Dynamics in Lake Aydat (France) Through Paleogenomics

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Sedimentary ancient DNA study revealed 138 years of hidden microsporidian (unicellular eukaryotic parasite) diversity and host–parasite dynamics in a freshwater lake. A major community shift in the 2000s, linked to anthropogenic pressures, shows how paleogenomics reveals the diversity and long‐term ecological trajectories of these previously overlooked

Scalable Benthic Biomonitoring: Trade‐Offs Between Bulk and Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Across Sediment Types

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Direct eDNA metabarcoding is the most scalable method for large benthic monitoring programs, provided that sampling effort is increased to compensate for slightly lower per‐sample biodiversity recovery. ABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding offers prospects to assess benthic biodiversity in a more scalable and comprehensive way, but processing methods remain ...

A Preliminary Study on Using Rotifera Fauna to Determine The Trophic Level of The Büyükçekmece Reservoir (İstanbul, Turkey)

open access: yesAquatic Sciences and Engineering, 2019
In this study, the abundance of rotifera fauna, in the Büyükçekmece Reservoir (İstanbul) and some physicochemical features of the reservoir, were investigated between May 2009 and February 2010.

A Systematic Review of Biofloc Technology and Periphyton in Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) Aquaculture

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Biofloc technology and periphyton‐based systems enhance the sustainable production of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). A PRISMA‐guided review (2005 – 2024) shows that BFT improves survival (75 – 78 %) and feed efficiency, while periphyton supports natural productivity in grow‐out.
