Autonomous sampling and eDNA metabarcoding for offshore biodiversity monitoring: a pilot study around an FPSO in the Southwestern Atlantic
Characterizing biodiversity around offshore infrastructure is necessary to assess possible influences of industrial activities on marine communities and distinguish persistent ecological change from short-term variability. Combining environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding with autonomous sampling offers a way to expand biological, spatial and temporal coverage while reducing dependence on crewed…
