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

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 …

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

Biodiversity is in decline due to human‐induced pressures on ecosystems around the world.
To be able to counteract this alarming trend, it is paramount to closely monitor biodiversity at …

Plankton metabarcoding is increasingly implemented in marine ecosystem assessments
and is more cost-efficient and less time-consuming than monitoring based on microscopy …

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 …

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

Advances in high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) are revolutionizing monitoring in marine
environments by enabling rapid, accurate and holistic detection of species within complex …

Dietary and predator–prey studies are more frequently relying on DNA metabarcoding
methods, typically achieving results that have a better taxonomic resolution (eg, species …

Synchronous multispecific coral spawning generally occurs annually and forms an integral
part of the coral life cycle. Apart from spawning times and species participation, however …
