eDNA metabarcoding provides scalable and continuous biodiversity monitoring across the tree of life

Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has the potential to substantially expand our knowledge of global biodiversity beyond that provided by conventional approaches. However, the degree to which eDNA data provides real ecological insight, rather than primarily reflectin...

Availability and representativeness of freshwater macroinvertebrate data to enable Europe-wide assessment of biodiversity trends

Freshwater ecosystems, though covering less than 1% of Earth's surface, harbor around 10% of all species. Pressures like pollution, water extraction, and habitat loss can exhibit complex interactions in their effects on freshwater biodiversity. Understanding the effects of these...
