Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized ecological research, particularly for
biodiversity assessment in various environments, most notably aquatic media …

Metazoan metabarcoding is emerging as an essential strategy for inventorying biodiversity,
with diverse projects currently generating massive quantities of community-level data. The …

Standard plant DNA barcodes based on 2–3 plastid regions, and nrDNA ITS show variable
levels of resolution, and fail to discriminate among species in many plant groups. Genome …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a powerful tool that can enhance marine
ecosystem/biodiversity monitoring programs. Here we outline five important steps managers …

Over 90% of recent human‐caused extinctions are wild species known from only one nation.
These nationally endemic species represent one of the greatest global conservation …

Biodiversity studies greatly benefit from molecular tools, such as DNA metabarcoding, which
provides an effective identification tool in biomonitoring and conservation programmes. The …

Large-scale climate changes influence the geographic distribution of biodiversity. Many taxa
have been reported to extend or reduce their geographic range, move poleward or displace …

The current decline of wild bees puts important ecosystem services such as pollination at
risk. Both inventory and monitoring programs are needed to understand the causes of wild …

Two lineages of bivalve transmissible neoplasia (BTN), BTN1 and BTN2, are known in blue
mussels Mytilus. Both lineages derive from the Pacific mussel M. trossulus and are identified …

Recent declines in insect abundances, especially populations of wild pollinators, pose a
threat to many natural and agricultural ecosystems. Traditional species monitoring relies on …
