eDNA provides accurate population abundance estimates with bioenergetics and particle mass-balance modelling

Julien Beaulieu, Matthew C. Yates, Dylan John Fraser, Melania E. Cristescu, Alison Margaret Derry

This study develops a model integrating bioenergetics and mass-balance to estimate freshwater fish abundance from eDNA, improving accuracy and detecting population changes.

A strong relationship between environmental DNA metabarcoding and rank-based abundance of fish

Joanne E. Littlefair, Lauren D. Hayhurst, Matthew C. Yates, Michael D. Rennie, Melania E. Cristescu

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.
