Vast global declines of freshwater and marine fish diversity and population abundance pose
serious threats to both ecosystem sustainability and human livelihoods. Environmental DNA …

Animals need to move between different habitats to successfully complete their life cycle.
Anthropogenic activities and infrastructure impact animal movement, especially in the …

The second series of papers concerns the use of eDNA to monitor fish diversity. We focus on
fish because they are among the most important groups of bioindicators and also because …

Water diversion has been widely used to address water shortages and security issues.
However, its long-term ecological impacts, particularly on the biodiversity and structure of …

The development of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods toward implementation as a cost‐
effective, nonlethal tool for fish biomonitoring in lotic environments requires insights on the …

Research has demonstrated consistent positive correlations between organism abundance
and absolute environmental DNA (eDNA) concentrations. Robust correlations in laboratory …

Arthropods can strongly impact ecosystems through pollination, herbivory, predation, and
parasitism. As such, characterizing arthropod biodiversity is vital to understanding …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is increasingly being implemented as a non‐
invasive and efficient approach for biodiversity research and monitoring across ecosystems …

The need for efficient, accurate biodiversity monitoring is growing, especially for globally
imperiled taxa, such as amphibians. Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis holds enormous …

Many species of amphibians in Northern Europe are threatened and the local distributions
are rarely described in detail. Application of modern molecular methods provides an …
