Global declines in biodiversity highlight the need to effectively monitor the density and
distribution of threatened species. In recent years, molecular survey methods detecting DNA …

Progressions accomplished in the field of molecular biology amid the most recent decade
has changed the way in which we contemplate biodiversity on earth. Together with the …

In recent years, eDNA-based assessments have evolved as valuable tools for research and
conservation. Most eDNA-based applications rely on comparisons across time or space …

Abstract The European weather loach (Misgurnus fossilis) is a cryptic and poorly known fish
species of high conservation concern. The species is experiencing dramatic population …

Isogenus nubecula is a critically endangered Plecoptera species. Considered extinct in the
UK, I. nubecula was recently rediscovered (in one location of the River Dee, Wales), after 22 …

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 …

Practical applications of environmental DNA (eDNA) are in exponential expansion,
especially for the assessment and monitoring of freshwater metazoans. Because eDNA …

The deep‐sea is vast, remote, and largely underexplored. However, methodological
advances in environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys could aid in the exploration efforts, such as …

The introduction of invasive crayfish has led to a decline of many European native species of
crayfish across their range. In this study, novel duplex assays for all crayfish occurring in …

Simple Summary The innovative concept of environmental DNA has found its foot in aquatic
ecosystems but remains an unexplored area of research concerning terrestrial ecosystems …
