      Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is a rapid, non-invasive, cost-efficient biodiversity monitoring tool with enormous potential to inform aquatic conservation and management. Development is ongoing, with strong commercial interest, and new uses are continually being discovered. General applications of eDNA and guidelines for best practice in freshwater systems have been established, but ...
    • Towards an Iberian DNA barcode reference library of freshwater macroinvertebrates and fishes 

      Múrria, Cesc; Väisänen, Leif O. S.; Somma, Simona; Wangensteen Fuentes, Owen Simon; Arnedo, Miquel A.; Prat, Narcís (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Freshwater macroinvertebrates and fishes are focal groups in major ecosystem biomonitoring programs in the Iberian Peninsula. Yet, their use as bioindicators is sometimes constrained by the time and cost needed for sorting macroinvertebrates specimens and their challenging taxonomic identification, and the huge sampling procedures for capturing rare or incipient fish species, respectively. Given the ...
