The paper links terrestrial land cover changes to fish diversity in a subtropical river catchment, showing LULC effects up to 20 km upstream and explaining 60% of species richness variance.

This study uses eDNA and a new probe-based qPCR assay to detect quagga mussels in Great Britain, finding they are more widespread than previously thought.

The paper introduces a 5-level validation scale to assess the readiness of eDNA assays for species monitoring, showing most assays are inadequately validated.

The paper compares traditional and eDNA methods for detecting quagga mussels, finding that targeted PCR and metabarcoding outperform kick-net sampling, with qPCR being most sensitive at low densities.

This study develops an eDNA qPCR assay for detecting crucian carp in UK ponds and evaluates its effectiveness compared to traditional methods.
