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

We reviewed the current methodology and practices of the DNA metabarcoding approach
using a universal PCR primer pair MiFish, which co-amplifies a short fragment of fish DNA …

Global biodiversity is declining at an ever-increasing rate. Yet effective policies to mitigate or
reverse these declines require ecosystem condition data that are rarely available …

Marine plastic debris is widely recognized as a global environmental issue. Small
microplastic particles, with an upper size limit of 20 μm, have been identified as having the …

Microscopic organisms are often overlooked in traditional diversity assessments due to the
difficulty of identifying them based on morphology. Metabarcoding is a method for rapidly …

Benthic invertebrate diversity is one of the most commonly used bioindicators for assessing
aquatic ecosystem health in river systems. Although an increasing number of studies have …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an increasingly popular tool for measuring
and cataloguing biodiversity. Because the environments and substrates in which DNA is …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is widely used for species analysis, while the
use of environmental RNA (eRNA) metabarcoding is more limited. We conducted …

The emerging field of environmental DNA (eDNA) research lacks universal guidelines for
ensuring data produced are FAIR–findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable–despite …

Over the past quarter century, environmental DNA (eDNA) has been ascendant as a tool to
detect, measure, and monitor biodiversity (species and communities), as a means of …
