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) originates from cellular material shed by organisms into aquatic
or terrestrial environments and can be sampled and monitored using metabarcoding …

The second series of papers concerns the use of eDNA to monitor fish diversity. We focus on
fish because they are among the most important groups of bioindicators and also because …

Comprehensive and accurate assessments of fish composition and diversity are essential
for understanding fish ecology and resource management. Traditional fish surveys generally …

Biodiversity surveys may require the use of multiple types of sampling gear to maximize the
efficiency of species detections, yet few studies have investigated how to optimally distribute …

The quantitative measurement of environmental DNA (eDNA) from field-collected water
samples is gaining importance for the monitoring of fish communities and populations. The …

Fish diversity, an important indicator of aquatic ecosystem health, is declining due to water
pollution, overfishing, climate change, and invasive species. Effective surveying and …

The need for efficient, accurate biodiversity monitoring is growing, especially for globally
imperiled taxa, such as amphibians. Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis holds enormous …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling—the detection of intra-or extra-cellular DNA in
environmental samples—is a rapid and sensitive survey method for detecting aquatic …

Efficient biodiversity monitoring programs are essential to assess the ecological status of
marine ecosystems. In the context of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive …
