Spatio-temporal monitoring of lake fish spawning activity using environmental DNA metabarcoding (2022)
Journal Article
Di Muri, C., Lawson Handley, L., Bean, C. W., Benucci, M., Harper, L. R., James, B., …Hänfling, B. (2023). Spatio-temporal monitoring of lake fish spawning activity using environmental DNA metabarcoding. Environmental DNA, 5(5), 849-860. https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.343

Determining the timing and location of fish reproductive events is crucial for the implementation of correct management and conservation schemes. Conventional methods used to monitor these events are often unable to assess the spawning activity direc...

Limited dispersion and quick degradation of environmental DNA in fish ponds inferred by metabarcoding (2019)
Journal Article
Li, J., Lawson Handley, L. J., Harper, L. R., Brys, R., Watson, H. V., Di Muri, C., …Hänfling, B. (2019). Limited dispersion and quick degradation of environmental DNA in fish ponds inferred by metabarcoding. Environmental DNA, 1(3), 238-250. https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.24

Background: Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a promising tool for rapid, non-invasive biodiversity monitoring. Aims: In this study, eDNA metabarcoding is applied to explore the spatial and temporal distribution of fish communities in two aqu...

Temporal and spatial variation in distribution of fish environmental DNA in England’s largest lake (2019)
Journal Article
Lawson Handley, L., Read, D. S., Winfield, I. J., Kimbell, H., Johnson, H., Li, J., …Hänfling, B. (2019). Temporal and spatial variation in distribution of fish environmental DNA in England’s largest lake. Environmental DNA, 1(1), 26-39. https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.5

Environmental DNA offers great potential as a biodiversity monitoring tool. Previous work has demonstrated that eDNA metabarcoding provides reliable information for lake fish monitoring, but important questions remain about temporal and spatial repea...

The effect of filtration method on the efficiency of environmental DNA capture and quantification via metabarcoding (2018)
Journal Article
Li, J., Lawson Handley, L. J., Read, D. S., & Hänfling, B. (2018). The effect of filtration method on the efficiency of environmental DNA capture and quantification via metabarcoding. Molecular Ecology Resources, 18(5), 1102-1114. https://doi.org/10.1111/1755-0998.12899

© 2018 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a promising tool for rapid and noninvasive biodiversity monitoring. eDNA density is low in environmental samples, and a capture method, such as filtration, is often required to concentrate e...
