Fish are both consumers and prey, and as such part of a dynamic trophic network.
Measuring how they are trophically linked, both directly and indirectly, to other species is …

Biodiversity monitoring via environmental DNA, particularly metabarcoding, is evolving into
a powerful assessment tool for riverine systems. However, for metabarcoding to be fully …

Recent estimates suggest that the mesopelagic zone could contain a total fish biomass of 2-
19.5 gigatonnes, roughly equivalent to 100 times the annual catch of all existing fisheries. In …

Marine biodiversity is threatened by human activities. To understand the changes
happening in aquatic ecosystems and to inform management, detailed, synoptic monitoring …

Biomass assesment of fish stocks is a difficult task that often involves costly fisheries trawl
surveys. Trawl surveys rarely return replicate samples, as trawling attempts are expensive …

Monitoring the distribution of marine nonindigenous species is a challenging task. To
support this monitoring, we developed and validated the specificity of 12 primer-probe …

Abstract Information about the dietary composition of a species is crucial to understanding
their position and role in the food web. Increasingly, molecular approaches such as DNA …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) studies have burgeoned over the last two decades and the
application of eDNA has increased exponentially since 2010, albeit at a slower pace in the …

Many species of amphibians in Northern Europe are threatened and the local distributions
are rarely described in detail. Application of modern molecular methods provides an …

Abstract The Cookiecutter shark (Isistius brasiliensis) is an ectoparasitic, mesopelagic shark
that is known for removing plugs of tissue from larger prey, including teleosts …
