MitoNGS improves fish metabarcoding analysis by enhancing reference databases and introducing a species group strategy to resolve ambiguous taxa.

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding and acoustic surveys to show that floating offshore wind farms alter the vertical distribution of fish aggregations without changing dominant species composition.

The paper detects terrestrial mammals using eDNA from forest pond water, identifying species like deer and raccoon through metabarcoding.
