Assessing different components of diversity across a river network using eDNA (2019, methodology): “…of high‐throughput sequencing, which allowed not only detection of single species but also detection of whole communi‐ ties, eDNA metabarcoding has been proposed to revolutionize biodiversity assessments (Bohmann et al., 2014; Lawson Handley, 2015; Shokralla, Spall, Gibson, & Hajibabaei, 2012).”
The ecologist's field guide to sequence‐based identification of biodiversity (2016, unknown): “…is used to answer questions about ‘ who ’ is present, while the function of communities or individuals can be established using a metagenomics, single-cell genomics or metatranscriptomics-see text for fulldetails. identiﬁcation can generally all be overcome using HTS (Law-son Handley 2015).”
Effective monitoring of freshwater fish (2019, unknown): “Hänfling, B., Lawson Handley, L., Read, D.S., et al. (2016).”
Taxonomic and geographical representation of freshwater environmental DNA research in aquatic conservation (2019, background): “Environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques are gaining increasing importance in ecological and conservation sciences (Bohmann et al., 2014; Corlett, 2017; Lawson Handley, 2015; Leese et al., 2016; Rees, Maddison, Middleditch, Patmore, & Gough, 2014; Thomsen & Willerslev, 2015).”
Temporal and spatial variation in distribution of fish environmental DNA in England’s largest lake (2018, background): “;) and PCR-based metabarcoding of eDNA has tremendous potential for monitoring entire ecological communities (see, for example, Bohmann et al., 2014; Lawson Handley, 2015; Valentini et al., 2015; Deiner et al., 2017 for reviews).”
Early detection of aquatic invaders using metabarcoding reveals a high number of non‐indigenous species in Canadian ports (2016, background): “Targeted assays such as these are appropriate for active surveillance of priority species, but are disadvantageous in that they miss non-target NIS that may be present in samples (Handley, 2015).”
The Biological Records Centre: a pioneer of citizen science (2015, background): “Technological innovation will, no doubt, continue to facilitate biological recording, but also change what is possible (August et al., 2015; Lawson Handley, 2015), although the key resource in biological recording will always be people, their commitment and their expertise.”
