Assessing species geographic distributions is critical to approximate their ecological niches, understand how global change may reshape their occurrence patterns, and predict their extinction risks. Yet, species records are over-aggregated across tax...
Monitoring species' presence in an ecosystem is crucial for conservation and understanding habitat diversity, but can be expensive and time consuming. As a result, ecologists have begun using the DNA that animals naturally leave behind in water or so...
Oil spills pose a serious threat to marine communities, and there is an urgent need for an effective technique to monitor and assess the impacts on biological communities. While traditional methods with low sensitivity, being time-consuming and limit...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a widely used tool for surveying marine vertebrate biodiversity. To this end, many computational tools have been released and a plethora of bioinformatic approaches are used for eDNA-based community compositi...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding provides an efficient approach for documenting biodiversity patterns in marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The complexity of these data prevents current methods from extracting and analyzing all the relevant eco...
The protection and restoration of the biosphere is crucial for human resilience and well-being, but the scarcity of data on the status and distribution of biodiversity puts these efforts at risk. DNA released into the environment by organisms, i.e., ...
Autonomous water sampling technologies may help to overcome the human resource challenges of monitoring biological threats to rivers over long time periods and across large geographic areas. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute has pioneered ...
