This study estimates the sampling intensity and signal persistence of airborne eDNA in an enclosed space to inform effective biomonitoring strategies.

The paper examines the relationship between environmental DNA metabarcoding read counts and rank abundance of fish species in lakes, finding a strong correlation and a negative effect of body mass on eDNA sequence abundance.

The paper assesses the impact of human pressure on biodiversity in the UK using airborne environmental DNA, revealing complex patterns in diversity and community composition across taxa.

This study conducts the first national terrestrial biodiversity survey using airborne eDNA, identifying over 1,100 taxa and showing its potential to complement citizen science for conservation.

This study evaluates seven taxonomic assignment methods for metabarcoding eukaryotes using mock communities, finding that BLAST top hit performs competitively when optimized and that reference database quality impacts accuracy.
