Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental DNA - An emerging tool in conservation for monitoring past and present biodiversity
TL;DR: The achievements gained through analyses of eDNA from macro-organisms in a conservation context are reviewed, its potential advantages and limitations are discussed, and it is expected the eDNA-based approaches to move from single-marker analyses of species or communities to meta-genomic surveys of entire ecosystems to predict spatial and temporal biodiversity patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring endangered freshwater biodiversity using environmental DNA
Philip Francis Thomsen,Jos Kielgast,Lars Iversen,Carsten Wiuf,Morten Rasmussen,M. Thomas P. Gilbert,Ludovic Orlando,Eske Willerslev +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that entire faunas of amphibians and fish can be detected by high-throughput sequencing of DNA extracted from pond water, underpin the ubiquitous nature of DNA traces in the environment and establish environmental DNA as a tool for monitoring rare and threatened species across a wide range of taxonomic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of a diverse marine fish fauna using environmental DNA from seawater samples.
Philip Francis Thomsen,Jos Kielgast,Lars Iversen,Peter Rask Møller,Morten Rasmussen,Eske Willerslev +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that even small samples of seawater contain eDNA from a wide range of local fish species, which indicates the potential of using metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) obtained directly from seawater samples to account for marine fish biodiversity.

TL;DR: For amphibians, the detection probability with eDNA metabarcoding was 0.97 (CI = 0.90-0.99) vs. 0.58 (CI=0.50-0.63) for traditional surveys as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical considerations for the application of environmental DNA methods to detect aquatic species

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.
