Large rivers and their estuaries are structurally complex and comprise a diversity of habitats
supporting a rich biodiversity. As a result, identifying and monitoring fish communities using …

Conservation of freshwater biodiversity requires being able to track the presence and
abundance of entire fish communities. However, studying fish community composition within …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a potentially powerful tool to
assess aquatic community structures. However, the method has hitherto lacked field tests …

Protection of freshwater fish diversity is a global conservation priority in face of its alarming
decline in the last decades. A crucial step to protect freshwater fish diversity is the production …

In the face of global ecosystem changes driven by anthropogenic activities, effective
biomonitoring strategies are crucial for mitigating impacts on vulnerable aquatic habitats …
