ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling from rivers has emerged as a promising new method for monitoring freshwater organisms of management concern. However, eDNA cannot yet offer reliable estimates target species' abundance/biomass or confident determinations absence river segment. To unlock these abilities—and thereby greatly improve tool decision‐making—the influence local environmental factors on fate must be better understood. At nine sites across the central California coast, we added known quantity novel (Brook Trout, Salvelinus fontinalis ) and collected at sequential downstream distances qPCR analysis. We then used random forest modeling to identify most important reach‐scale (≤ 200 m) outcomes characterize salmonid fate. Our final model identified six outcomes, including five (discharge, catchment calcium oxide content, average depth cross‐section, presence pools, impervious cover watershed) one factor regarding our experimental design (the number technical replicates). results highlight notable effects cross‐sectional area, turbulence, geology fate, suggest discharge pools useful proxies evaluating site's favorability recovery.

Real-time biodiversity monitoring should provide more resolved data to quantify shifts in ecological communities progressively altered by anthropogenic disturbances. Identifying trends requires a rapid and efficient inventory method that enables the collection delivery of high-resolution within short intervals. Using aquatic environmental DNA (eDNA), we investigated spatiotemporal changes fish mammal along Maroni River French Guiana. We compared spatial between two years, separated four-year interval, during which an increase disturbances was observed. To evaluate changes, examined impact these on both taxonomic functional diversity. Our findings revealed that, while did not result major decline, it continued drive alterations community richness. Communities underwent their structure, with experiencing decline extreme traits, lost redundancy generalist functions experienced reduction strategies. In context small-scale disturbances, highlight necessity long-term, short-interval capture reorganisation under stress.

ABSTRACT Effective monitoring strategies are key for aquatic species conservation, but traditional methods often require significant resources, especially in large systems. The emergence of quantitative environmental DNA (eDNA) is a promising alternative. Yet, few studies have evaluated the possibility quantifying Atlantic salmon abundance with eDNA when individuals at low and occur river In this study, we tested efficacy to monitor quantify daily variation smolt counts during their downstream migration system smolts. During 2021 2022 migrations, trap nets were used conduct census smolts Romaine Puyjalon rivers (Québec, Canada) while samples collected over transect perpendicular riverbank. Using real‐time qPCR, showed that discharge‐corrected concentrations positively correlated both years. addition, found controlling temperature precipitation improved model transferability between years, showing importance considering correlates using quantification. Finally, on same day, not 1 or 2 days prior, highlighting capacity track fluctuations abundance. Our results underscore potential systems hydrology conditions documented.
