Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding (parallel sequencing of DNA/RNA for
identification of whole communities within a targeted group) is revolutionizing the field of …

Effective biomonitoring is critical for driving management outcomes that ensure long‐term
sustainability of the marine environment. In recent years, environmental DNA (eDNA) …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys are increasingly being used for biodiversity monitoring,
principally because they are sensitive and can provide high resolution community …

Over the last decade, steady advancements have been made in the use of DNA-based
methods for detection of species in a wide range of ecosystems. This progress has …

Biomonitoring programs have evolved beyond the sole use of morphological identification to
determine the composition of invertebrate species assemblages in an array of ecosystems …

Regular biological surveys are essential for informed management of freshwater
ecosystems. However, current morphology-based biodiversity surveys can be invasive, time …

DNA extraction from environmental samples (environmental DNA; eDNA) for metabarcoding‐
based biodiversity studies is gaining popularity as a noninvasive, time‐efficient, and cost …

Global biodiversity in freshwater and the oceans is declining at high rates. Reliable tools for
assessing and monitoring aquatic biodiversity, especially for rare and secretive species, are …

Human impact on marine benthic communities has traditionally been assessed using visible
morphological traits and has focused on the macrobenthos, whereas the ecologically …
