Shan Zhang et al.

Summary: Urbanization poses a major threat to terrestrial biodiversity globally, but its impact on fish diversity is poorly understood. This study used environmental DNA metabarcoding to survey fish communities in Beijing, and investigated how environmental variables affect urban aquatic biodiversity.

Fish assemblage response to removal of a low-head dam in the lower reach of a tropical island river

Johann J. Cancel Villamil et al.

Summary: This study compares fish assemblages in Puerto Rico before and after the removal of a low-head dam and finds that dam removal can restore habitat connectivity and increase species richness upstream. The removal of the dam also benefits marine fish species that use lower river reaches. It is suggested that low-head dam removal is a viable method for restoring connectivity in fish assemblages in lower reaches of rivers in Puerto Rico and other tropical islands.

Assessing the short-term response of fish assemblages to damming of an Amazonian river

Joyce Andreia dos Santos et al.

Summary: This study examines the impacts of dam construction on fish assemblages in tropical freshwater ecosystems. Rarely available data obtained before and after damming were used to assess the effects. The results showed negative trends in most response variables, with temporal and spatial variation playing a larger role in explaining the variation. Therefore, preserving upstream tributaries and natural environmental variation may help mitigate the impacts of damming on tropical ecosystems.

Spatiotemporal Response of Fish Aggregations to Hydrological Changes in the Lower Pearl River, China, during the Main Spawning Season

Zhi Wu et al.

Summary: The Pearl River is a global hotspot of fish biodiversity, but also has the most threatened endemic fish species in China. The establishment of the Changzhou Dam has negatively impacted fish downstream, and little attention has been paid to the spatiotemporal distribution of fish in response to flood alteration. This study used hydroacoustic surveys to monitor fish distribution and behavior. The results showed that fish densities were higher during the rising stage of water discharge, indicating fish aggregation during flooding and departure after flooding, especially for large fish. The study also found that fish sizes were significantly larger during the rising stage compared to the falling stage. Hydrological variation has an important influence on fish aggregations in terms of numbers and sizes.

Environmental DNA metabarcoding of fish communities in a small hydropower dam reservoir: a comparison between the eDNA approach and established fishing methods

Hai Li et al.

Summary: Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a promising tool for studying fish diversity and fishery management in aquatic ecosystems. However, its application in small hydropower dam reservoirs has been limited. This study compared eDNA metabarcoding with capture-based fishing methods and hydroacoustic surveys to assess its suitability for characterizing fish communities and evaluating fishery stocks. The results showed that eDNA metabarcoding had similar species detection performance to traditional fishing methods, but it did not detect all species detected by capture-based fishing. Despite a significant correlation between site occurrence and sequence abundance for fishes, establishing a quantitative correlation between eDNA sequence counts and fish abundance/biomass was unsuccessful. Therefore, eDNA metabarcoding is an important supplementary tool for investigating fish diversity in small hydropower dam reservoirs, but further research is needed to understand the mechanisms of eDNA production, persistence, transportation, and degradation.

Fish Diversity Monitored by Environmental DNA in the Yangtze River Mainstream

Hui Jia et al.

Summary: Surveys and assessments based on environmental DNA are efficient and less harmful to monitoring targets. This study used environmental DNA to investigate fish resources in the Yangtze River mainstream and compared the variations in fish during the spring and autumn seasons. The results showed seasonal variation in fish composition with different environmental factors influencing fish assemblages in each season. This study provides a new technology for the long-term management and protection of fishery resources in the region.

Major threats to European freshwater fish species

Maria Joao Costa et al.

Summary: Freshwater fish in Europe are the richest group of vertebrates but also the second most threatened, primarily by factors such as dams, droughts, invasive species, agriculture and forestry effluents, and overfishing. The study highlights the high level of imperilment of European freshwater fish, especially in the Iberian Peninsula, where low richness combined with over 50% of threatened species in several catchments. Increasing longitudinal connectivity and other efforts are crucial for species resilience and conservation.

Impacts of large and small barriers on fish assemblage composition assessed using environmental DNA metabarcoding

Sofia Consuegra et al.

Summary: River fragmentation caused by instream barriers, including both large and small barriers, can have significant cumulative impacts on fish species richness and relative abundance along an altitudinal gradient. It is important to consider the cumulative effects of small barriers in addition to the more obvious impacts of large dams on fish biodiversity conservation.

Effects of dam construction and fish invasion on the species, functional and phylogenetic diversity of fish assemblages in the Yellow River Basin

Jun Wang et al.

Summary: The study revealed significant changes in species, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of fish assemblages in the Yellow River Basin under the influence of long-term cascade hydropower construction and introduction of non-native fish species. Native fish experienced declines while non-native fish numbers increased, leading to changes in functional and phylogenetic diversity measures. This highlights the negative impacts of anthropogenic disturbances on native fish and the importance of considering multi-faceted diversity in biodiversity planning.

The critical role of natural history museums in advancing eDNA for biodiversity studies: a case study with Amazonian fishes

C. David de Santana et al.

Summary: eDNA technology serves as a complementary method to whole-specimen approaches, providing accurate snapshots of fish distributions at higher taxonomic levels and detecting specialized fish assemblages effectively. Natural history museums can facilitate the use of eDNA for surveying Earth's biodiversity hotspots by expanding their archives and implementing initiatives linking collection-based research, training, and outreach efforts.

Environmental DNA reveals the fine-grained and hierarchical spatial structure of kelp forest fish communities

Thomas Lamy et al.

Summary: Biodiversity is rapidly changing at local and regional scales, with beta diversity emerging as a key driver of ecosystem function that can inform spatial conservation efforts. Decoding eDNA left behind by organisms offers a detailed picture of spatial variation in taxonomic richness and community turnover. Comparing eDNA with underwater visual census, it is found that eDNA can outperform diver counts to capture spatial patterns in biodiversity at fine scales with less field effort.

Influence of Environmental Factors on the Variability of Archaeal Communities in a Karst Wetland

Ying Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the diversity and distribution of archaeal communities in the Huixian karst wetland and found Euryarchaeota and Bathyarchaeota to be dominant. The community composition remained stable but abundance and diversity varied significantly between seasons. Soil moisture content and pH were identified as the primary factors affecting the archaeal communities.

Monitoring fish communities through environmental DNA metabarcoding in the fish pass system of the second largest hydropower plant in the world

Giorgi Dal Pont et al.

Summary: The study used environmental DNA metabarcoding to monitor fish communities in the Parana River, showing that fish diversity was highest at the mouth of the fish pass system, likely due to environmental heterogeneity. Furthermore, a decrease in fish diversity from 2019 to 2020 was attributed to the recent extreme drought experienced in southeastern Brazil.
