Aquatic ecosystems are under increasing stress from global anthropogenic and natural
changes, including climate change, eutrophication, ocean acidification, and pollution. In this …

Advances in nucleic acid sequencing technology have enabled expansion of our ability to
profile microbial diversity. These large datasets of taxonomic and functional diversity are key …

The last decade brought a spectacular development of so‐called environmental (e) DNA
studies. In general,“environmental DNA” is defined as DNA isolated from environmental …

A decade after environmental scientists integrated high‐throughput sequencing
technologies in their toolbox, the genomics‐based monitoring of anthropogenic impacts on …

Bioindication has become an indispensable part of water quality monitoring in most
countries of the world, with the presence and abundance of bioindicator taxa, mostly …

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 …

Soil microbiota are important components of healthy ecosystems. Greater consideration of
soil microbiota in the restoration of biodiverse, functional, and resilient ecosystems is …

Sustainable development is a key challenge for contemporary human societies; failure to
achieve sustainability could threaten human survival. In this review article, we illustrate how …

Using environmental DNA (eDNA) to monitor biodiversity in aquatic environments is
becoming an efficient and cost-effective alternative to other methods such as visual and …

Increasing interest in the acquisition of biotic and abiotic resources from within the deep sea
(eg, fisheries, oil–gas extraction, and mining) urgently imposes the development of novel …
