eDNA Biomonitoring of Macroinvertebrate Communities for the Bioassessment of a River’s Ecological Status by Feifei Wu, Yanting Zou, Shan Qin, Feilong Li, Yuan Zhang

“…The high-throughput and rapid monitoring of species’ survival and the ecological status of their habitats are relevant to river management. Here, we used the eDNA technology to detect macroinvertebrates in the Dongjiang River—a typical subtropical river in Southern China, to assess the ecological status, based on eDNA datasets. …”

Embracing eDNA and machine learning for taxonomy-free microorganisms biomonitoring to assess the river ecological status by Xihan Li, Feilong Li, Xingyue Min, Yuwei Xie, Yuan Zhang

“…Currently implemented biomonitoring and bioassessment are an indispensable part of river management worldwide. Although DNA-based biomonitoring is a promising tool for biodiversity detection, a substantial effort still exists about how DNA-derived microorganisms’ datasets can be used for routine bioassessment. …”
