Monitoring blue biodiversity: examining diversity patterns in coastal and marine environments using environmental DNA
The research conducted in this thesis contributes to the expansion of eDNA methods in coastal and marine ecosystems, with a focus on ‘small and scarce’ taxa, such as threatened Syngnathids, as well as ‘broad and unexplored’ ecosystems like the Southern Ocean and the deep-sea. In a broad context, thi...

| Summary: | The research conducted in this thesis contributes to the expansion of eDNA methods in coastal and marine ecosystems, with a focus on ‘small and scarce’ taxa, such as threatened Syngnathids, as well as ‘broad and unexplored’ ecosystems like the Southern Ocean and the deep-sea. In a broad context, this research generated data and baselines for vulnerable taxa and ecosystems, at a time where careful management and monitoring is pivotal to conserving coastal and marine biodiversity. |
