Knowledge and management of aquatic ecosystems (formerly Bulletin Français de la Pèche et de la Pisciculture), an international journal on freshwater ecosystem

Historically, the analysis of airborne biological organisms relied on microscopy and culture-based techniques. However, technological advances such as PCR and next-generation sequencing now provide re...

Stepwise illustration of terrestrial monitoring of environmental DNA (eDNA): (I) searching for possible sources of target DNA (emergence holes, oviposition scars, within natural predators); (II) 3 te...

DNA metabarcoding is a powerful tool for analyzing microbial diversity; however, its effectiveness is limited by the incompleteness of reference databases. In this study, we aimed to assess its utili...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques have been successfully used to detect cetacean species, including harbor porpoises, humpback whales, and killer whales, through direct “flukeprint” sampling. This ...

Marine benthic diatoms are one of the most important groups in coastal primary production and photosynthesis, and the number of molecular studies revealing diatom biodiversity is increasing. In this ...

The South China Sea (SCS) is vital habitat and potential nursery and feeding grounds for large cetaceans, such as the sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus), making understanding of the temporal and sp...

DNA metabarcoding has revolutionized our ability to monitor ecosystems. However, the method is still rarely used in developing countries where resources are limited and fieldwork is challenging. ...
