Caption (Upper right): Fecal DNA metabarcoding is an useful tool to reveal dietary habit of animals including endangered species (photo: Japanese wood pigeon) Caption (Upper middle): Underwater photograph of the Tennessee state endangered Streamside Salamander ( Ambystoma barbouri ) Caption (Upper left): We compared a targeted single species eDNA approach with standardized fyke‐net catch data of the critically endangered European eel Anguilla anguilla , in five freshwater lakes in Ireland. Results demonstrate that eDNA sampling may provide a useful non‐invasive monitoring tool and demonstrated high sensitivity for detecting eel presence in low eel population environments.
