Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding (parallel sequencing of DNA/RNA for
identification of whole communities within a targeted group) is revolutionizing the field of …

Although most deep-sea areas are remote in comparison to coastal zones, a growing body
of literature indicates that many sensitive ecosystems could be under increased stress from …

Background The recent blooming of metabarcoding applications to biodiversity studies
comes with some relevant methodological debates. One such issue concerns the treatment …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) quantification and sequencing are emerging techniques for
assessing biodiversity in marine ecosystems. Environmental DNA can be transported by …

Establishing the foundations for a sustainable use of deep‐sea resources relies on
increasing knowledge on this inaccessible ecosystem, which is challenging with traditional …

Metabarcoding analysis of environmental DNA samples is a promising new tool for marine
biodiversity and conservation. Typically, seawater samples are obtained using Niskin bottles …

Increasingly, researchers are using innovative methods to census marine life, including
identification of environmental DNA (eDNA) left behind by organisms in the water column …

Animal biodiversity in the ocean's vast mesopelagic zone is relatively poorly studied due to
technological and logistical challenges. Environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses show great …

The abyssal seafloor is a mosaic of highly diverse habitats that represent the least known
marine ecosystems on Earth. Some regions enriched in natural resources, such as …

Environmental variables such as food supply, nodule abundance, sediment characteristics,
and water chemistry may influence abyssal seafloor communities and ecosystem functions …
