Abstract Analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) from passively collected airborne dust has demonstrated broad success for sensitive and robust detection plants. Recent experiments at small spatial scales have suggested that animals can also be detected using eDNA. However, eDNA analysis never been used a long‐term whole‐community assessment natural terrestrial community or with passive collectors. We conducted metabarcoding survey targeting vertebrate carried in the air on an approximately...
Abstract Arthropods can strongly impact ecosystems through pollination, herbivory, predation, and parasitism. As such, characterizing arthropod biodiversity is vital to understanding ecosystem health, functions, services. Emerging environmental DNA (eDNA) methods targeting trace eDNA left behind on flowers have the potential track interactions. The goal of this study was determine extent which metabarcoding identify plant‐arthropod arthropod‐arthropod interactions assess compared...

Abstract Background Airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) research is an emerging field that focuses on the detection of species from their genetic remnants in air. The majority studies into airborne eDNA plants has until now either focused single detection, specifically only pollen, or human health impacts, with no previous surveying entire plant community through metabarcoding. We therefore conducted metabarcoding survey and compared results to a traditional survey. Results Over course year,...
Abstract Airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) research has typically focused on the detection of pollen from anemophilous terrestrial plant species; however, recent findings have expanded definition airborne eDNA to include a variety sources, such as leaf and flower fragments. While methods for capturing are well studied, there is less known about how best analyze capture more broadly defined bulk samples. Therefore, this study aimed identify efficient techniques extraction amplification these...
Genetic analysis of airborne plant material has historically focused (generally implicitly rather than as a stated goal) on pollen from anemophilous (wind-pollinated) species, such in multiple studies examining the relationship allergens to human health. Inspired by recent influx literature applying environmental DNA (eDNA) approaches targeted-species and whole-ecosystem study, we conducted proof-of-concept experiment determine whether samples reliably detect genetic non-anemophilous species...
ABSTRACT Aim Freshwater mussels are considered among the most at‐risk taxa in world. As such, comprehensive monitoring assessments of what abiotic and biotic factors influence mussel occupancy will be vital for guiding effective conservation. Here, we analysed vertebrate environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data to explore (i.e., host fish diversity, predator presence, community composition) drainage size, forest cover, stream order) on freshwater populations.

Abstract Analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) has been successfully used across freshwater ecological parasitology to inform management ecologically and economically important species. However, most studies have species‐specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays detect target taxa. While generally effective, this approach limits the amount community management‐supporting data that can be obtained from eDNA samples. If metabarcoding could conducted with same accuracy a...

Abstract Objective Gill lice Salmincola spp. are among the most widely reported parasites of freshwater salmonids and have been associated with recent declines in native Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis populations. Effective gill surveillance is vital for salmonid conservation success, but current survey approaches often inadequate or problematic.

This paper examines the practical limitations in using xenon flash lamps for direct photolysis of organic compounds air. Due to Cl• atom chain reactions, higher chlorinated ethenes photolyze rapidly enough compete with catalytic thermal oxidation. However, many common cocontaminants photooxidize slowly, limiting applications. The chloroethene chains can be inhibited by some cosolutes, but also sensitize oxidation cocontaminants. Trichloroethene (TCE) photolyzes give a >90% initial yield...
