The monitoring and management of aquatic ecosystems depend on precise estimates biodiversity. Metabarcoding analyses environmental nucleic acids (eNAs), including DNA (eDNA) RNA (eRNA), have garnered attention for their cost-effective non-invasive biomonitoring capabilities. However, the accuracy biodiversity obtained through eNAs can vary among different organismal groups. Here we evaluate performance eDNA eRNA metabarcoding across nine groups, ranging from bacteria to terrestrial...

Abstract Aim Coastal fishes have a fundamental role in marine ecosystem functioning and contributions to people, but face increasing threats due climate change, habitat degradation overexploitation. The extent which human pressures are impacting coastal fish biodiversity comparison with geographic environmental factors at large spatial scale is still under scrutiny. Here, we took advantage of DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding investigate the relationship between biodiversity, including taxonomic...

Abstract Phytoplankton diversity is closely related to environmental variables and has been widely used in ecological health assessment of rivers lakes. Combining advantages DNA‐based identification high‐throughput sequencing technology, DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding permits a new measurement for biodiversity monitoring aquatic ecosystems. However, it had rarely explore the variability similarity phytoplankton between lake its inflow effects on phytoplankton. This study utilized eDNA investigate...

Since a large number of contaminants are detected in source waters (SWs) and tap (TWs), it is important to perform comprehensive effect evaluation key contributor identification. A reduced human transcriptome (RHT)-based effect-directed analysis, which consisted concentration-dependent RHT reveal the effects noteworthy pathways systematic identification contributors based on interactions between compounds pathway effects, was developed applied typical SWs TWs along Yangtze River. By RHT, 42%...

Ecological qualities and resources in coasts are threatened by various human activities, such as pollution fishery. Impact evaluation of environmental stressors over a wide coastal stretch has been limited due to lack efficient standardizable biodiversity monitoring assessment tools. Integrating DNA (eDNA) ecological traits, holistic approach was developed assess the impact aquaculture on fish Chinese areas. Taking Yalujiang Estuary (YLJK) from Yellow Sea Nan'ao Island Area (NAO) South China...

Fish are among the main target groups when conducting biomonitoring and ecological assessment of aquatic environments. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding provides a unique opportunity to enhance throughput, precision, standardization. However, few fish monitoring studies based on eDNA have been conducted at basin scale. Taking Dianchi Lake three inflowing rivers (Panlong River, Baoxiang Chai River) as research objects, this study monitored diversity via metabarcoding, Index Biological...

Species range limits are typically constrained by their tolerance to abiotic factors such as climate, well dispersal limitations due geographic barriers like mountain ridges and river valleys. Montane regions, which hyperdiverse in many different clades, characterised high turnover, complex topography, provide ideal systems for investigating the drivers of limits. In this study, we collected 30 environmental DNA (eDNA) samples from tributaries Salween, Mekong, Yangtze rivers employed ITS2...

ABSTRACT Mountain river ecosystems, globally recognized biodiversity hotspots shaped by pronounced landscape heterogeneity, are facing intensifying anthropogenic pressures. However, interactions between and activity on montane fish remain poorly quantified. Taking the Yuan River (Yunnan, China) as a model system, environmental DNA (eDNA) partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM) were coupled to disentangle responses of facets (taxonomic, functional genetic diversity)...

Abstract In river systems worldwide, land cover changes have been identified as major drivers of biodiversity change. Quantifying how terrestrial impacts riverine diversity requires local assessments. this study, we investigated the association and corresponding fish species communities using eDNA‐metabarcoding in Chinese Shaying River basin. This basin is home to about 37 million people largely dominated by a mix intense agriculture urban areas, creating relatively homogeneous, intensely...

Fish in the Volga-Kama River System (the largest river system Europe) are important as a crucial food source for local populations; fish have highest trophic level among hydrobionts. The purpose of this research is to describe diversity non-indigenous and native Volga Kama Rivers, European part Russia. This dataset encompasses data from June 2001 September 2021 comprises 1888 records (36,376 individual observations) littoral pelagic habitats 143 sampling sites, representing 52 species 42...
