Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies

This is a sourced subject-directory page. Its presence does not mean a factual answer has been researched, or that the subject is a proven knowledge gap.

Scope of this subject

This cluster of papers revolves around the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) and related techniques such as metabarcoding and next-generation sequencing for monitoring and assessing biodiversity in various ecosystems, with a focus on aquatic environments. The papers cover topics such as species detection, biodiversity assessment, conservation genetics, and the application of eDNA in ecological and environmental studies.

OpenAlex generated this cluster description with an LLM. It describes research grouping, not verified findings.
