Most-cited papers in Environmental DNA

Reporting the limits of detection and quantification for environmental DNA assays

Katy E. Klymus, Christopher M. Merkes, Michael J. Allison et al. · 16 Sep 2019

Abstract Background Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is increasingly being used to detect the presence and relative abundance of rare species, especially invasive or imperiled aquatic species. The rapid progress in the eDNA field has resulted in numerous studies impacting conservation and management actions. However, standardization of eDNA methods and reporting across the field is yet…

Environmental DNA (eDNA) as a tool for assessing fish biomass: A review of approaches and future considerations for resource surveys

Meaghan L. Rourke, Ashley M. Fowler, Julian M. Hughes et al. · 25 Feb 2021

Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized our ability to identify the presence and distributions of terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Recent evidence suggests the concentration of eDNA could also provide a rapid, cost‐effective indicator of abundance and/or biomass for fisheries stock assessments. Globally, fisheries resources are under immense pressure, and their sustainable harvest requires accurate information…

The detection of aquatic macroorganisms using environmental DNA analysis—A review of methods for collection, extraction, and detection

Satsuki Tsuji, Teruhiko Takahara, Hideyuki Doi et al. · 20 Jun 2019

Abstract The field of environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has rapidly developed over the past decade and the technique has become widely used for detecting aquatic macroorganisms in a variety of habitats. However, a variety of measurement protocols have been individually developed for different eDNA studies and this may lead to confusion for others who wish…

DNA metabarcoding in diet studies: Unveiling ecological aspects in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems

Lara L. Sousa, Sofia Marques Silva, Raquel Xavier · 8 Aug 2019

Abstract Effective conservation of species and ecosystems requires the understanding of important ecological traits, such as dietary habits, food webs, and trophic niches. In diet studies, the visual identification of partially digested prey has been enhanced with the recent more powerful and accurate technique, DNA barcoding. Here, we summarize the contribution of this recent methodology…

Meta‐analysis supports further refinement of eDNA for monitoring aquatic species‐specific abundance in nature

Matthew C. Yates, Dylan J. Fraser, Alison M. Derry · 16 Apr 2019

Abstract The use of eDNA to detect the presence/absence of rare or invasive species is well documented and its use in biodiversity monitoring is expanding. Preliminary laboratory research has also shown a positive correlation between the concentration of species‐specific eDNA particles and the density/biomass of a species in a given environment. However, the extent to…

Environmental DNA template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Environmental DNA format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Environmental DNA template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Environmental DNA use?
Environmental DNA uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Environmental DNA 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Environmental DNA?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Environmental DNA document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Environmental DNA template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Environmental DNA format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Environmental DNA?
Environmental DNA is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Environmental DNA template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Environmental DNA PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Environmental DNA template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Environmental DNA template cost?
You can start writing in the Environmental DNA template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Environmental DNA PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
