Assessing variability in eDNA metabarcoding: implications for ecological interpretation in environmental monitoring
… involved and understanding of variability within eDNA use has been slower. Scottish aquaculture has adopted eDNA metabarcoding into its environmental<br/>impact monitoring, providing a real-world example of eDNA use with standardisation gaps. This thesis focused on eDNA metabarcoding, primarily of …

Barcoding and eDNA metabarcoding of a rapidly changing Neotropical freshwater fish community
… bolster the implementation of DNA barcoding and metabarcoding in Brazilian riverine ecosystems. With the cooperation of collaborators in both Brazilian and British institutions, I built a barcode library and provided a more robust biodiversity record for the ichthyofauna of the Doce river, …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) Metabarcoding: Analysis of Freshwater Macroinvertebrate Community Structure and Diversity
… sampling are being explored. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding, which can be used to identify the taxonomic composition of entire communities, has the potential to increase both survey efficiency and taxonomic resolution. In this study, I evaluated the efficacy of eDNA metabarcoding to …

Using environmental DNA metabarcoding to monitor fish biodiversity and assess anthropogenic barrier impacts on the river Mersey, UK
… a novel molecular approach, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding, is now revolutionising biomonitoring. In this thesis, data collected from non-invasive monitoring techniques (camera recordings and eDNA metabarcoding) were combined to monitor Atlantic salmon migration at the Woolston weir fish …

Environmental DNA metabarcoding and citizen science as a cost-effective and rapid tool for monitoring terrestrial mammalian species
The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) has become increasingly important as a surveying technique for monitoring rare, elusive and/or invasive species. eDNA metabarcoding (which targets multiple species simultaneously) has been frequently used to monitor aquatic species but more recently, has been …

Detecting anthropogenic impacts on estuarine benthic communities
… in two estuaries and environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding was used to examine the response of eukaryotic (18S rRNA), diatom only (rbcL) and bacterial (16S rRNA) communities. Multivariate analyses demonstrated differential changes in examined communities between sites, suggesting a …

Improving the applicability of metabarcoding to monitor salmon farming impacts on benthic environments
… can be overcome with environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding. To utilise metabarcoding for regulatory monitoring, an understanding is needed of the sources of variability in metabarcoding-derived data. Metabarcoding-inferred indicators of impact also need to be identified specifically for …

Comparing fine-scale temporal environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling to camera trapping for detecting mammalian carnivores
… and stress to the animals. Environmental DNA (eDNA) has emerged as a cost-effective, non-invasive, and efficient biodiversity monitoring method which has been used for both aquatic and terrestrial species. Previous mammalian eDNA-based studies have effectively detected terrestrial and …

Using eDNA to construct community assemblages of amphibians at sites infected with Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in the Netherlands.
… Bsal may cause. Utilising environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a relatively new and effective method of monitoring biodiversity, especially elusive species. Thus the aims of this study are to 1.) validate the use of two different metabarcoding primers and single-species approaches in …

Biodiversity monitoring using environmental DNA: Can it detect all fish species in a waterbody and is it cost effective for routine monitoring?
… of this study was to explore Next-Generation - metabarcoding for the detection of feral and native freshwater fish species based on the DNA shed by individual organisms into the water column. Cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) primers were developed for this study using DNA from six freshwater species …
