Environmental DNA (eDNA) is the fastest growing biomonitoring tool fuelled by two key
features: time efficiency and sensitivity. Technological advancements allow rapid …

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 …

During the last glacial–interglacial cycle, Arctic biotas experienced substantial climatic
changes, yet the nature, extent and rate of their responses are not fully understood …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to DNA that can be extracted from environmental
samples (such as soil, water, feces, or air) without the prior isolation of any target organism …

Biodiversity monitoring at the community scale is a critical element of assessing and
studying species distributions, ecology, diversity, and movements, and it is key to …

The use of lake sedimentary DNA to track the long-term changes in both terrestrial and
aquatic biota is a rapidly advancing field in paleoecological research. Although largely …

The protection and restoration of the biosphere is crucial for human resilience and well-
being, but the scarcity of data on the status and distribution of biodiversity puts these efforts …

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 …

Metabarcoding extra‐organismal DNA from environmental samples is now a key technique
in aquatic biomonitoring and ecosystem health assessment. Of critical consideration when …

We developed a set of universal PCR primers (MiFish-U/E) for metabarcoding
environmental DNA (eDNA) from fishes. Primers were designed using aligned whole …
