Aquatic macroinvertebrates, including many aquatic insect orders, are a diverse and
ecologically relevant organismal group yet they are strongly affected by anthropogenic …

Freshwater macro‐organismic environmental DNA (eDNA) is gaining increasing popularity
in detecting invasive species, assessing community assemblages, and in map** the …

DNA metabarcoding is increasingly used for the assessment of aquatic communities, and
numerous studies have investigated the consistency of this technique with traditional …

Anthropogenically forced changes in global freshwater biodiversity demand more efficient
monitoring approaches. Consequently, environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is enabling …

While many studies have considered the ability of eDNA to assess animal communities in
lacustrine settings, fewer have considered riverine systems, particularly those spanning the …

Biodiversity conservation faces a methodological conundrum: Biodiversity measurement
often relies on species, most of which are rare at various scales, especially prone to …

The alarming declines of freshwater biodiversity call for efficient biomonitoring at fine
spatiotemporal scales, such that conservation measures be grounded upon accurate …

Human‐induced global change dramatically alters individual aspects of river biodiversity,
such as taxonomic, phylogenetic or functional diversity, and is predicted to lead to losses of …

The development of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods toward implementation as a cost‐
effective, nonlethal tool for fish biomonitoring in lotic environments requires insights on the …

Uncovering biodiversity as an inherent feature of ecosystems and understanding its effects
on ecosystem processes is one of the most central goals of ecology. Studying organisms' …
