Vast global declines of freshwater and marine fish diversity and population abundance pose
serious threats to both ecosystem sustainability and human livelihoods. Environmental DNA …

Exhaustive biodiversity data, covering all the taxa in an environment, would be fundamental
to understand how global changes influence organisms living at different trophic levels, and …

Reliable and comparable estimates of biodiversity are the foundation for understanding
ecological systems and informing policy and decision‐making, especially in an era of …

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

Aquatic non-indigenous species (NIS) threaten biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and the
economy worldwide. Monitoring NIS is of immediate concern to identify newly arriving …

Advancements in environmental DNA (eDNA) approaches have allowed for rapid and
efficient species detections in diverse environments. Although most eDNA research is …

Abstract Marine Protected Areas require comprehensive monitoring to ensure objectives are
achieved; however, monitoring natural ecosystems at scale is challenged by the biodiversity …

Ecological surveys risk incurring false negative and false positive detections of the target
species. With indirect survey methods, such as environmental DNA, such error can occur at …

Environmental DNA metabarcoding is increasingly implemented in biodiversity monitoring,
including phytoplankton studies. Using 21 mock communities composed of seven unicellular …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) once shed can exist in numerous states with varying behaviors
including degradation rates and transport potential. In this study, we consider three states of …
