Taxonomic and geographical representation of freshwater environmental DNA research in aquatic conservation (2019, background): “Apart from amphibians, where the red‐listed great crested newt, Triturus cristatus (Laurenti, 1768), was investigated in six studies (e.g. Rees et al., 2014), invasive species were the research organisms most frequently targeted in all other major taxonomic groups: for molluscs, the zebra mussel,…”
How will the ‘molecular revolution’ contribute to biological recording? (2015, methodology): “It is therefore critical to adopt standardised quality control measures such as inclusion of sample and PCR blanks, and to carry out replication of sampling and PCR (for more advice on these issues, see recent papers by Rees et al., 2014; Bohmann et al., 2014 and Ficetola et al., 2014).”
Assessing the cost‐efficiency of environmental DNA sampling (2016, methodology): “Studies have considered water samples positive for the presence of a target species if any one of three to eight qPCR replicates was positive (Rees et al. 2014).”
Comparison of capture and storage methods for aqueous macrobial eDNA using an optimized extraction protocol: advantage of enclosed filter (2017, background): “Over the last decade, the potential of aqueous eDNA to identify a wide range of plants and animals from a small volume of water has been realized (Martellini, Payment & Villemur 2005; Thomsen et al. 2012; Rees et al. 2014).”
Active and passive environmental DNA surveillance of aquatic invasive species (2016, background): “(Ficetola et al. 2008; Rees et al. 2014).”
Quantifying relative fish abundance with eDNA: a promising tool for fisheries management (2016, methodology): “…assessing biodiversity and determining species historical patterns of distribution, population dynamics, ecosystem health and trophic interactions (Ficetola et al. 2008; Jerde et al. 2011; Mahon et al. 2013; D ıaz-Ferguson & Moyer 2014; M€achler et al. 2014; Piaggio et al. 2014; Rees et al. 2014).”
Environmental DNA detects Critically Endangered largetooth sawfish in the wild (2016, background): “Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a relatively new and emerging technique that detects trace amounts of DNA from an aquatic species within water samples taken from putative habitats (Ficetola et al. 2008, Rees et al. 2014, Thomsen & Willerslev 2015).”
Efficacy of Environmental DNA to Detect and Quantify Brook Trout Populations in Headwater Streams of the Adirondack Mountains, New York (2017, background): “Although the mechanisms may not be well understood, eDNA persistence generally increases under anoxic conditions (Epp et al. 2010; Dejean et al. 2011; Rees et al. 2014; Thomsen and Willerslev 2015).”
DNA Sequencing as a Tool to Monitor Marine Ecological Status (2017, background): “…sequencing strategies for water, sediments, and tissues are available herein, and eDNA is also reviewed extensively elsewhere (Bohmann et al., 2014; Rees et al., 2014; Pedersen et al., 2015; Thomsen and Willerslev, 2015; Shelton et al., 2016); therefore, only a brief technical overview is provided…”
MitoZ: a toolkit for animal mitochondrial genome assembly, annotation and visualization (2019, background): “In most cases, these studies deal with degraded DNA, thus are in urgent demand for short barcoding fragments for taxonomic identification (9,10).”
