DOI: 10.1007/s00227-021-03896-x
Abstract: Population outbreaks of the corallivorous crown-of-thorns seastar (CoTS; Acanthaster spp.) are significant threats to the Indo-Pacific reefs. Although recent research demonstrated that environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques could improve CoTS monitoring, the interpretation of surveillance results… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-01980-0
Abstract: Conserving biodiversity in the face of ever-increasing human pressure is hampered by our lack of basic information on species occurrence, distribution, abundance, habitat requirements, and threats. Obtaining this information requires efficient and sensitive methods capable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.9b02833
Abstract: Environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses have enabled more efficient surveillance of species distribution and composition than conventional methods. However, the characteristics and dynamics of eDNA (e.g., origin, state, transport, and fate) remain unknown. This is especially… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-90771-w
Abstract: The invasive American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) imperils freshwater biodiversity worldwide. Effective management hinges on early detection of incipient invasions and subsequent rapid response, as established populations are extremely difficult to eradicate. Although environmental DNA (eDNA)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-97128-3
Abstract: Ichthyological surveys have traditionally been conducted using whole-specimen, capture-based sampling with varied but conventional fishing gear. Recently, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a complementary, and possible alternative, approach to whole-specimen methodologies. In the… read more here.
