Multi-Year eDNA Metabarcoding Reveals Fish Community Dynamics in the Jiangsu Section of the Yangtze River Mainstem Under the Fishing Ban

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an efficient, non-invasive approach for surveying fish diversity in complex habitats such as large rivers. This study conducted continuous eDNA monitoring along the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River mainstem from 2022 to 2024 to characterize spatiotemporal variations in fish...

Three sampling strategies reveal spatial and methodological patterns in macroinvertebrate diversity in freshwater habitats

Summary Assessing macroinvertebrate diversity is crucial for freshwater ecosystem management. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a powerful, non-invasive tool that complements conventional morphological methods. In this study, we compared morphological sampling, ethanol-derived eDNA from preserved sp...

Post-impoundment changes in fish diversity and community structure of the Dikrong River, Arunachal Pradesh: a comparative assessment between 2000–2001 and 2025–2026

A study carried out on the dam impacted Dikrong River, which is one of the major tributaries of the Brahmaputra in Arunachal Pradesh, suggests that the river has undergone significant ecological alteration following the commissioning of the Sopo dam in 2018 and increasing anthropogenic pressures. The present study atte...

Assessing fish biodiversity and community structure in the Ganjiang River using eDNA metabarcoding

Hydropower development has emerged as a major driver of global environmental change, causing significant ecological damage to freshwater ecosystems and threatening aquatic biodiversity. However, the impact of cascade dams on fish communities in large river systems remains poorly understood, particularly in biodiversity...

Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Reveals Spatiotemporal Variation in Fish Communities of the Middle Raohe River, China

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding can provide fish-community inventories across river networks. We surveyed ten sites in the Jingdezhen section of the Raohe River system on 20–23 October 2023 and 2–5 June 2024, covering the Donghe River, Chang River, and Le’an River. Three technical process replicates were pooled...

SPATIO-TEMPORAL STRUCTURE OF MOLLUSC COMMUNITIES IN LAKE ZIENKOLO: INFLUENCE OF PHYSICOCHEMICAL GRADIENTS (NORTHERN CÔTE D'IVOIRE)

Aquatic molluscs play an essential role in the functioning of lakes and are commonly used as indicators of water quality. However, their diversity remains little studied in the reservoirs of northern Côte d'Ivoire. This study characterizes the composition and spatio-temporal structure of these communities in Lake Zienk...
