Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized our ability to identify the presence and
distributions of terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Recent evidence suggests the …

Conserving biodiversity in the face of ever-increasing human pressure is hampered by our
lack of basic information on species occurrence, distribution, abundance, habitat …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is genetic material that has been shed from macroorganisms. It
has received increased attention as an indirect marker for biodiversity monitoring. This …

Increased use of environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis for indirect species detection has
spurred the need to understand eDNA persistence in the environment. Understanding the …

DNA metabarcoding is increasingly used for the assessment of aquatic communities, and
numerous studies have investigated the consistency of this technique with traditional …

We reviewed the current methodology and practices of the DNA metabarcoding approach
using a universal PCR primer pair MiFish, which co-amplifies a short fragment of fish DNA …

Vast global declines of freshwater and marine fish diversity and population abundance pose
serious threats to both ecosystem sustainability and human livelihoods. Environmental DNA …

Protists are the dominant eukaryotes in the biosphere where they play key functional roles.
While protists have been studied for over a century, it is the high-throughput sequencing of …

This book represents a synthesis of knowledge and best practice in the field of DNA-based
biomonitoring at the time of writing. It has been written with end-users of molecular tools in …

Fish environmental DNA (eDNA) studies have made substantial progress during the past
decade, and significant advances in monitoring fishes have been gained by taking …
