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
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.
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
Takeaways from Mobile DNA Barcoding with BentoLab and MinION
