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.

Environmental DNA for wildlife biology and biodiversity monitoring

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the current frontiers of eDNA, outline key aspects requiring improvement, and suggest future developments and innovations for research, including improved ability to explore ecosystem-level processes, the generation of quantitative indices for analyses of species, community diversity, and dynamics, and novel opportunities through the use of time-serial samples and unprecedented sensitivity for detecting rare or difficult-to-sample taxa.

Environmental DNA for wildlife biology and biodiversity monitoring (vol 29, pg 358, 2014)

TL;DR: The current frontiers of eDNA are examined, key aspects requiring improvement are outlined, and future developments and innovations for research are suggested.

REVIEW: The detection of aquatic animal species using environmental DNA – a review of eDNA as a survey tool in ecology

TL;DR: New ideas for how eDNA can be used for conservation and management are included, for instance, the potential for on-site analyses, including the application of eDNA analysis to carbon nanotube platforms or laser transmission spectroscopy to facilitate rapid on- site detections.

Biological identifications through DNA barcodes

TL;DR: It is established that the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) can serve as the core of a global bioidentification system for animals and will provide a reliable, cost–effective and accessible solution to the current problem of species identification.

Barcoding animal life: cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 divergences among closely related species

TL;DR: It is indicated that sequence divergences at COI regularly enable the discrimination of closely allied species in all animal phyla except the Cnidaria and constraints on intraspecific mitochondrial DNA divergence arising through selective sweeps mediated via interactions with the nuclear genome.

Biological Identifications Through DNA Barcodes

TL;DR: It was established previously that the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase I can serve as the core of a global bioidentification system for animals and a new tools were developed recently to be complementary markers for (COI) DNA barcoding.
