The paper evaluates DNA metabarcoding's effectiveness in identifying fish species and detecting seasonal variations in a temperate estuary using ichthyoplankton and water samples.

This paper synthesizes global DNA-based methods for detecting marine invasive species, finding that metabarcoding and single-species PCR are most common, with COI as the most widely used marker.

This paper reviews eDNA methods for detecting diadromous fish in Portugal and presents a pilot study on sea lamprey detection, highlighting eDNA's potential for conservation monitoring.

This study uses DNA metabarcoding to assess marine non-indigenous species in Portuguese marinas, finding significant geographic variation and new NIS records in the Azores.

This study evaluates how sample type and season affect DNA metabarcoding detection of non-indigenous invertebrates in marinas, finding higher NIS detection in zooplankton and during spring and autumn.

The paper curates DNA barcode records for marine invertebrates, identifying and tagging problematic records in BOLD with specific annotations.

This study demonstrates that COI metabarcoding can provide robust species-level identifications for estuarine macrobenthic communities, outperforming morphology-based methods in species richness detection.
