This study evaluates DNA metabarcoding for diet analysis in lesser black-backed gulls, revealing diverse diets and foraging strategies across different age and colony groups.

This paper reviews primate gut microbiome research, identifying gaps in taxonomic coverage, geographic representation, and methodology, and proposes a standardized reporting framework for better conservation applications.

This study reanalyzes global riverine fish eDNA datasets to show that biodiversity conclusions are robust despite varying bioinformatic workflows and reference databases.

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding to detect a resurgence in fish diversity in a degraded estuary, identifying previously absent species and highlighting seasonal and spatial variations.

The paper uses eDNA and eRNA metabarcoding to assess fish diversity in Brazilian estuaries, finding higher diversity in less impacted areas and invasive species in urbanized systems.

This paper reviews DNA metabarcoding and eDNA applications in Brazilian biomes, highlighting trends, challenges, and the need for investment in infrastructure and collaboration.

The paper estimates population size and demographic composition of northern muriquis using non-invasive methods and compares their cost-efficiency.

This study uses global eDNA data to show how riverine fish biodiversity relates to drainage characteristics, revealing climate and human activity effects vary by biodiversity facet and catchment size.

The paper uses eDNA metabarcoding to detect amphibian communities and Bsal fungus in Dutch water bodies, finding a weak but significant link between Bsal presence and community composition.

This study compares eDNA filtering methods for fish biodiversity monitoring in estuaries, finding that 0.45 µm filters yield the highest species richness and consistency.

Shark-dust DNA sequencing reveals widespread trade in threatened sharks and rays, identifying 54 taxa including many CITES-listed species.

This study evaluates how preservation methods, sample medium, and sampling time affect eDNA recovery for fish detection in a Neotropical river, finding that cooling water samples outperforms surfactant preservation.
