Effect of freezing seawater samples on their eDNA community composition
We tested the effect of freezing seawater samples on their downstream eDNA community composition using amplicon sequencing of two molecular markers (COI and 12S rRNA gene) -
eDNA survey of Knight Inlet, British Columbia
Marine biodiversity is a key indicator of ecosystem health and can be assessed using a variety of survey methods, including environmental DNA sampling. However, much remains... -
Differences in species detection between eDNA and mid-water trawls
Marine scientific trawl surveys are commonly used to assess the distribution and population size of fisheries-related species, yet the method is effort-intensive and can be... -
Humpback whale diet analysis
We used amplicon sequencing of wild-collected fecal samples to resolve the diets of humpback whales in British Columbia, Canada. We targeted the MiFish region of the 12S rRNA... -
Coastal marine microbial diversity
Seaweed-associated microbiota are essential for the health and resilience of nearshore ecosystems, marine biogeochemical cycling, and host health. Yet much remains unknown about... -
Effect of environmental DNA sampling resolution compared to capture surveys i...
We paired eDNA metabarcoding and beach seining surveys of nearshore fishes on the coast of British Columbia to assess how environmental conditions at differing spatial scales...
