eDNA metabarcoding provides scalable and continuous biodiversity monitoring across the tree of life

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding to monitor biodiversity across aquatic habitats, finding it provides more species data at lower cost than traditional methods.

Integrated reanalysis of global riverine fish eDNA datasets shows robustness and congruence of biodiversity conclusions

This study reanalyzes global riverine fish eDNA datasets to show that biodiversity conclusions are robust despite varying bioinformatic workflows and reference databases.

Unraveling long-term trends and drivers of fish biodiversity change using environmental DNA metabarcoding of archived samples

The paper uses environmental DNA metabarcoding of archived samples to track long-term fish biodiversity trends and identify drivers of change across six European river systems over 17 years.

Globally unified analysis of riverine eDNA reveals common associations of fish biodiversity with drainage characteristics

This study uses global eDNA data to show how riverine fish biodiversity relates to drainage characteristics, revealing climate and human activity effects vary by biodiversity facet and catchment size.

It`s raining species: Rainwash eDNA metabarcoding as a minimally invasive method to assess tree canopy invertebrate diversity

The paper demonstrates that rainwash eDNA metabarcoding can detect canopy invertebrate diversity, revealing species not present in water samples and showing host-specific patterns.

Beyond fish eDNA metabarcoding: Field replicates disproportionately improve the detection of stream associated vertebrate species

This paper shows that increasing field replicates improves detection of non-fish vertebrates in stream eDNA metabarcoding, while fish detection increases less.
