Congruency between two traditional and eDNA-based sampling methods in characterising taxonomic and trait-based structure of fish communities and community-environment relationships in lentic environment

Recent developments in environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding suggest that eDNA-based representation of ecological communities can be a promising tool in both fundamental ecological research and environmental assessment. However, it is less known, how eDNA performs in characterising ecological commu...
