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

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding (parallel sequencing of DNA/RNA for
identification of whole communities within a targeted group) is revolutionizing the field of …

This book represents a synthesis of knowledge and best practice in the field of DNA-based
biomonitoring at the time of writing. It has been written with end-users of molecular tools in …

The use of lake sedimentary DNA to track the long-term changes in both terrestrial and
aquatic biota is a rapidly advancing field in paleoecological research. Although largely …

The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis for species monitoring requires rigorous
validation—from field sampling to the analysis of PCR‐based results—for meaningful …

Fish environmental DNA (eDNA) studies have made substantial progress during the past
decade, and significant advances in monitoring fishes have been gained by taking …

Environmental (e) DNA, as a general approach in aquatic systems, seeks to connect the
presence of species' genetic material in the water and hence to infer the species' physical …

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 …

The biodiverse Neotropical ecoregion remains insufficiently assessed, poorly managed, and
threatened by unregulated human activities. Novel, rapid and cost-effective DNA-based …

The ability to properly identify species present in a landscape is foundational to ecology and
essential for natural resource management and conservation. However, many species are …
