Maximizing sampling efficiency to detect differences in fish community composition using environmental DNA metabarcoding in subarctic fjords
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has gained popularity as a tool for ecosystem biomonitoring and biodiversity assessment. Although much progress has been
Observation Bias in Metabarcoding
DNA metabarcoding is subject to observation bias associated with PCR and sequencing, which can result in observed read proportions differing
Differential decay of multiple environmental nucleic acid components
Detections of environmental nucleic acids (eNA), such as DNA and RNA, are powerful tools for monitoring biodiversity. Yet, precise interpretation
Quantifying the Detection Sensitivity and Precision of qPCR and ddPCR Mechanisms for eDNA Samples
Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection employing quantitative PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) offers a non-invasive and efficient approach for
eDNAjoint: An R package for interpreting paired or semi-paired environmental DNA and traditional survey data in a Bayesian framework
Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is increasingly used in surveys of species distribution as a potentially sensitive and efficient monitoring method.
Advective Transport Drives Environmental DNA Dispersal in an Estuary
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly used for species detection and biodiversity monitoring in estuary and marine environments. The dynamic nature

Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is a technique for detecting organisms based on genetic material in environments such as air, water,
Predicting trawl catches using environmental DNA
Quantifying the biomass, or number of individuals, diversity, and distribution of marine species is a critical aspect of understanding and
Invasive European green crab (Carcinus maenas) predation in a Washington State estuary revealed with DNA metabarcoding
Predation by invasive species can threaten local ecosystems and economies. The European green crab (Carcinus maenas), one of the most
