Abstract While many studies have considered the ability of eDNA to assess animal communities in lacustrine settings, fewer riverine systems, particularly those spanning environmental gradients present large river basins. Such dynamic systems are challenging for biomonitoring due differing transport distances rivers and effects chemistry. To address this challenge, we focused on Thames River system, UK, which has exceptional historical fish records providing a baseline test accuracy...
Abstract The accuracy and reliability of DNA metabarcoding analyses depend on the breadth quality reference libraries that underpin them. However, there are limited options available to obtain curate huge volumes sequence data public repositories such as NCBI BOLD. Here, we provide a pipeline download, clean annotate mitochondrial for given list fish species. Features this include (a) support multiple metabarcode markers; (b) searches species synonyms taxonomic name validation; (c) phylogeny...
Abstract The urgency of rapid species monitoring is at an all‐time high due to the increasing threat climate change global ecosystems, in particular freshwater habitats. Fish such as Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus , are particularly vulnerable water temperatures and changes land use their dependence on cold waters confinement lacustrine environments. Nonetheless, current practices, relying physical capture organisms, hindered by resource constraints, desire manage habitats for recreational...
Four species of fish found in Ontario streams can be divided into two distinct groups on the basis habitat and associated fauna. Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill) Cottus bairdi Girard are cool source waters whereas Ambloplites rupestris (Rafinesque) Micropterus dolomieui Lacépède occur together warmer downstream waters. The latter group has more than former. Some invertebrates such as certain stonefly mayfly nymphs frequently with one rarely other group. They may useful indicators likely to...
Ongoing anthropogenic change is altering the planet at an unprecedented rate, threatening biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning. Species are responding to abiotic pressures both individual population levels, with changes affecting trophic interactions through consumptive pathways. Collectively, these impacts alter goods services that natural ecosystems will provide society, as well persistence of all species. Here, we describe physiological behavioral responses species global on levels...
Abstract Long‐term monitoring is critical to measure the response of biodiversity patterns and processes human‐mediated environmental pressures. This particularly pertinent in freshwaters, where recent estimates indicated a third all fish species are threatened with extinction, making ongoing biomonitoring essential for conservation management. High frequency annual identifying temporal changes community composition; however, traditional survey methods typically less practical over such...
