Biodiversity assessment of tropical shelf eukaryotic communities via pelagic eDNA metabarcoding (2019)
Journal Article
Bakker, J., Wangensteen Fuentes, O., Baillie, C., Buddo, D., Chapman, D., Gallagher, A., …Mariani, S. (2019). Biodiversity assessment of tropical shelf eukaryotic communities via pelagic eDNA metabarcoding. Ecology and Evolution, 9(24), 14341-14355. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.5871

Our understanding of marine communities and their functions in an ecosystem relies on the ability to detect and monitor species distributions and abundances. Currently, the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is increasingly being applied f...

Non‐specific amplification compromises environmental DNA metabarcoding with COI (2019)
Journal Article
Collins, R., Bakker, J., Wangensteen Fuentes, O., Soto, A., Corrigan, L., Sims, D., …Mariani, S. (2019). Non‐specific amplification compromises environmental DNA metabarcoding with COI. Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 10(11), 1985-2001. https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13276

1.Metabarcoding extra‐organismal DNA from environmental samples is now a key technique in aquatic biomonitoring and ecosystem health assessment. Of critical consideration when designing experiments, and especially so when developing community standar...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding as an effective and rapid tool for fish monitoring in canals (2019)
Journal Article
McDevitt, A., Sales, N., Browett, S., Sparnenn, A., Mariani, S., Wangensteen Fuentes, O., …Benvenuto, C. (2019). Environmental DNA metabarcoding as an effective and rapid tool for fish monitoring in canals. Journal of Fish Biology, 95(2), 679-682. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.14053

We focus on a case study along an English canal comparing environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding with two types of electrofishing techniques (wade‐and‐reach and boom‐boat). In addition to corroborating data obtained by electrofishing, eDNA provided a... Read More about Environmental DNA metabarcoding as an effective and rapid tool for fish monitoring in canals.

Influence of preservation methods, sample medium and sampling time on eDNA recovery in a neotropical river (2019)
Journal Article
Sales, N., Wangensteen Fuentes, O., Carvalho, D., & Mariani, S. (2019). Influence of preservation methods, sample medium and sampling time on eDNA recovery in a neotropical river. Environmental DNA, 1(2), 119-130. https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.14

Environmental DNA (eDNA) has rapidly emerged as a promising biodiversity monitoring technique, proving to be a sensitive and cost‐effective method for species detection. Despite the increasing popularity of eDNA, several questions regarding its limit...
