Abstract:Detection of marine organisms based on environmental DNA (eDNA) has expanded the knowledge of species richness, distribution, and appearance patterns. We used eDNA data from a single location sampled weekly over 8 years to detect as many species as possible, and investigate their appearance patterns and associations with biotic and abiotic factors. We detected >2500 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) associated with unique species from nine supergroups. The dominating currents that differ significantly in t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
