Modeling cetacean eDNA distribution along the Washington coast using metabarcoding from opportunistic samples and generalized additive models

The paper uses eDNA metabarcoding and generalized additive models to model cetacean distribution along the Washington coast, finding spatial patterns consistent with historical records.

Quantitative, Multispecies Monitoring at a Continental Scale

The paper combines qPCR and metabarcoding to estimate eDNA quantities for multiple fish species, creating spatial maps that align with known ecological niches and identify biodiversity hotspots.

Spatial and seasonal biodiversity variation in a large Mediterranean lagoon using environmental DNA metabarcoding through sponge tissue collection

The paper assesses faunal composition and its spatial and temporal variation in a Mediterranean lagoon using eDNA metabarcoding from sponge tissues collected in different seasons and areas.

Distinguishing Signal from Noise: Understanding Patterns of Non-Detections to Inform Accurate Quantitative Metabarcoding

This study investigates non-detections in metabarcoding data to improve quantitative accuracy by modeling amplification biases and stochastic sampling effects.
