Abstract excerpt
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has been used for monitoring community shifts, but its resolution in detecting small-scale biotic gradients remains largely untested. In this study, we applied eDNA metabarcoding to detect alterations in marine communities using 12S-V5 (vertebrates) and 18S-uni (other eukaryotes) primer sets along a ~ 20 km harbour in Hong Kong. Analysis of water quality data from 2018 to...
