Abstract Metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) when coupled with high throughput sequencing is revolutionising the way biodiversity can be monitored across a wide range applications. However, large number tools deployed in downstream bioinformatic analyses often places challenge configuration and maintenance workflow, consequently limits research reproducibility. Furthermore, scalability needs to considered handle growing amount data due increase sequence output scale project. Here, we...
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding methods have demonstrated their potential as noninvasive techniques for the monitoring and conservation of marine fishes, including rare endangered taxa. However, majority these investigations focused on large‐bodied taxa such sharks sturgeons. In contrast, eDNA studies small‐bodied cryptic are much less common. As a case in point, seahorses (members Syngnathidae family) never been detected by eDNA, despite fact that globally there 14 species...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a widely used tool for surveying marine vertebrate biodiversity. To this end, many computational tools have been released and plethora of bioinformatic approaches are eDNA-based community composition analysis. Simulation studies careful evaluation taxonomic classifiers essential to establish reliable benchmarks improve accuracy reproducibility findings. Here we present comprehensive nine exploring three mitochondrial markers (12S rDNA, 16S COI) in...
Abstract The effective management of rare and threatened species, especially in areas where population sizes have diminished, relies on knowledge their size, threats, distribution. Robust mapping distribution presents a particular challenge aquatic environments for cryptic those with low abundance. Environmental DNA (eDNA) approaches can offer improved detection rates many species when compared traditional sampling approaches. In this study, we developed optimized targeted eDNA assay the...
Spangled emperor, Lethrinus nebulosus (Forsskål 1775), is a tropical marine fish of economic and cultural importance throughout the Indo-West Pacific. It one most targeted recreational fishes in Gascoyne Coast Bioregion Western Australia where it serves as an indicator species for fishing. Here, we present highly accurate, near-gapless, chromosome-level, haplotype-phased reference genome assembly L. (Lethrinus (Spangled Emperor) genome, fLetNeb1.1; PRJNA1074345), first high-quality...

Abstract Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba ) is a keystone species in the Southern Ocean ecosystem, and monitoring its distribution abundance crucial for sustainable management of expanding fisheries targeting species. Environmental DNA (eDNA)‐based could complement conventional surveys, but applicability limited by lack knowledge on eDNA persistence decay Ocean. We aimed to develop method that can not only quantify eDNA, also estimate relative time since this was shed (“recent” vs...
The Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica harbours some of the most pristine marine environments remaining, but is increasingly vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures, climate change, and invasion by non-native species. Monitoring biotic responses cumulative impacts requires temporal spatial baselines ongoing monitoring - traditionally, this has been obtained continuous plankton recorder (CPR) surveys. Here, we conduct one longest environmental DNA (eDNA) transects yet, spanning over 3000...

Characterising biodiversity using environmental DNA (eDNA) represents a paradigm shift in our capacity for biomonitoring complex aquatic environments. However, eDNA is limited by biases towards certain species and low taxonomic resolution of current metabarcoding-based approaches. Shotgun metagenomics enables the collection whole ecosystem data sequencing all molecules present sample, allowing them to be characterised identified. Ongoing enhancements genome reference databases are improving...

However, eDNA is limited by biases toward certain species the low taxonomic resolution of current metabarcoding approaches. Shotgun metagenomics enables collection whole ecosystem data sequencing all molecules present, allowing characterization identification. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats...
