Environmental DNA provides higher resolution assessment of riverine biodiversity and ecosystem function via spatio-temporal nestedness and turnover partitioning

Environmental DNA provides higher resolution assessment of riverine biodiversity and ecosystem function via spatio-temporal nestedness and turnover partitioning

Mathew Seymour et al. compare eDNA with traditional biodiversity metrics to assess the functional diversity of a river basin in Wales over space and time and variable land use. Their results show that eDNA can generate greater biodiversity resolution and reliably detect spatio-temporal changes in co...

Description
Summary:Mathew Seymour et al. compare eDNA with traditional biodiversity metrics to assess the functional diversity of a river basin in Wales over space and time and variable land use. Their results show that eDNA can generate greater biodiversity resolution and reliably detect spatio-temporal changes in community and functional diversity.
