The field of eDNA is growing exponentially in response to the need for detecting rare and
invasive species for management and conservation decisions. Developing technologies and …

Environmental DNA surveys have become a well‐established tool for detecting natural
communities, showing excellent promise for supporting biodiversity monitoring …

Background The recent blooming of metabarcoding applications to biodiversity studies
comes with some relevant methodological debates. One such issue concerns the treatment …

The second series of papers concerns the use of eDNA to monitor fish diversity. We focus on
fish because they are among the most important groups of bioindicators and also because …

Microscopic organisms are often overlooked in traditional diversity assessments due to the
difficulty of identifying them based on morphology. Metabarcoding is a method for rapidly …

Although metabarcoding is a well-established tool for describing diversity of pelagic
communities, its quantitative value is still controversial, with poor correlations previously …

Marine and freshwater biodiversity is under threat from both natural and manmade causes.
Biological monitoring is currently a top priority for biodiversity protection. Given present …

Marinas are high-priority targets for marine non-indigenous species (NIS), where they
compose a large portion of the biofouling communities. The practicality of water samples …

Despite representing one of the largest biomes on earth, biodiversity of the deep seafloor is
still poorly known. Environmental DNA metabarcoding offers prospects for fast inventories …

Benthic macroinvertebrates are among the most used biological quality elements for
assessing the condition of all types of aquatic ecosystems worldwide (ie, fresh water …
