The paper shows that environmental RNA, CpG methylation, and bulk DNA differ in persistence, affecting the reliability of molecular signals in water samples.

This paper uses eDNA sequencing to show that genetic material moves between water and air, revealing a continuous ecological interface and offering new monitoring approaches for vertebrates.

The paper demonstrates the use of long-range PCR and nanopore sequencing to obtain and analyze long mitochondrial fragments from environmental DNA samples, enabling species identification despite sequencing errors.

The paper evaluates eDNA workflows to identify cost-effective and sensitive methods for biodiversity monitoring in resource-limited settings.

The paper develops a drone-based eDNA sampling and portable qPCR method for real-time malaria detection in the Amazon, using Plasmodium DNA and howler monkey acoustic data.

The paper demonstrates that airborne eDNA can reliably detect aquatic life, showing that passive air samplers capture eDNA signals comparable to water samples.
