Journal ArticleDOI
“Sight‐unseen” detection of rare aquatic species using environmental DNA
TL;DR: Quantitative comparisons with traditional fisheries surveillance tools illustrate the greater sensitivity of eDNA and reveal that the risk of invasion to the Laurentian Great Lakes is imminent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical considerations for the application of environmental DNA methods to detect aquatic species
Caren S. Goldberg,Cameron R. Turner,Kristy Deiner,Katy E. Klymus,Philip Francis Thomsen,Melanie A. Murphy,Stephen F. Spear,Anna M. McKee,Sara J. Oyler-McCance,Robert S. Cornman,Matthew B. Laramie,Andrew R. Mahon,Richard F. Lance,David S. Pilliod,Katherine M. Strickler,Lisette P. Waits,Alexander K. Fremier,Teruhiko Takahara,Jelger Herder,Pierre Taberlet +19 more
TL;DR: A synthesis of knowledge is presented at this stage for application of this new and powerful detection method, which can reduce impacts on sensitive species and increase the power of field surveys for rare and elusive species.
Journal ArticleDOI
From molecules to management: adopting DNA-based methods for monitoring biological invasions in aquatic environments.
John A. Darling,Andrew R. Mahon +1 more
TL;DR: The goal is to provide a useful assessment of the obstacles associated with integrating DNA-based methods into aquatic invasive species management, and to offer recommendations for future efforts aimed at overcoming those obstacles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of mesocosm fish and amphibian species diversity via environmental DNA metabarcoding.
Nathan T. Evans,Brett P. Olds,Mark A. Renshaw,Cameron R. Turner,Yiyuan Li,Christopher L. Jerde,Andrew R. Mahon,Michael E. Pfrender,Gary A. Lamberti,David M. Lodge +9 more
TL;DR: The results illustrate the potential for eDNA sampling and metabarcode approaches to improve quantification of aquatic species diversity in natural environments and point the way towards using eDNA metabarcoding as an index of macrofaunal species abundance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation in a cup of water: estimating biodiversity and population abundance from environmental DNA.
David M. Lodge,Cameron R. Turner,Christopher L. Jerde,Matthew A. Barnes,W. Lindsay Chadderton,Scott P. Egan,Jeffrey L. Feder,Andrew R. Mahon,Michael E. Pfrender +8 more
TL;DR: New evidence is provided demonstrating the feasibility of using eDNA for detection of species, estimates of relative abundance and quantification of biodiversity, and it is demonstrated that next‐generation sequencing of eDNA can quantify species richness.
