In June 2015, Evans et al. published a paper entitled  “Quantification of mesocosm fish and amphibian species diversity via eDNA metabarcoding”. This study aimed to determine if eDNA sampling and metabarcoding analysis can be used to accurately measure species diversity in aquatic mesocosms differing in species abundance and […]

The European Weather loach (Misgurnus fossilis) naturally occurs in swampy waters in the flood plains of rivers and streams. It feeds on small invertebrates from the bottom (worms, snails, insect larvae) and remains buried in the mud during the day. Due to intensification of agricultural land use, suitable habitats of this loach have deteriorated over time causing the decline of this species. The species is listed […]
