Данные проекта
This project evaluated the effectiveness of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding for detecting mammal species in freshwater ecosystems of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Water samples collected from five river systems were analyzed using MiMammal-U primers targeting the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene and high-throughput sequencing. The project aimed to validate eDNA metabarcoding as a biodiversity monitoring tool in remote and environmentally challenging regions and to optimize protocols for its future application in wildlife monitoring and conservation programs in Tierra del Fuego.

| Описание района исследования | The study was conducted in Tierra del Fuego Province, southern Argentina. Freshwater samples were collected from five river systems (Grande, Ewan, Milna, Lasifashaj, and Olivia Rivers) representing a range of environments including steppe, ecotone, forest, and mountain ecosystems. |
| Описание плана выполнения исследований | The project evaluated the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding for detecting mammal species in freshwater ecosystems of Tierra del Fuego. At each river, four replicate water samples were collected and filtered for eDNA analysis. DNA was extracted from filters, amplified targeting a fragment of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene using MiMammal-U primers, and sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq platform. Taxonomic assignments were performed using a curated local reference database and a standardized bioinformatic workflow. The resulting occurrence records were used to assess mammalian diversity and evaluate the effectiveness of eDNA metabarcoding as a biodiversity monitoring tool. |

Методы сбора
Water samples for this eDNA study were collected from five river sites in TdF Province on April 16, 2024. The sampling sites included the Grande, Ewan, Milna, Lasifashaj, and Olivia Rivers. At each site, four 5 L replicate water samples were collected at the same sampling location (n = 20 L per site) to maximize the detection of rare species. Sampling was conducted using sterile gloves to prevent cross-contamination. Each replicate was obtained by submerging a sterile container submerged just below the surface, upstream from the operator, to minimize the risk of contamination. Samples were transported and stored in a cold chamber at 4 °C. Water filtration was performed within 72 hours using sterile microbiological monitors with 0.45 µm pore diameter nitrocellulose filters to retain cellular material. Although the initial sample volume was 5 L, effective filtration was limited to 1 L per replicate due to high sediment loads. To monitor for potential contamination during sampling and filtration, a 5 L field blank of distilled water was treated under the identical conditions. Filters were subsequently stored at -80 °C until DNA extraction.
| Охват исследования | Temporal coverage: 16-Apr-2024 to 16-Apr-2024 Frequency of sampling: One-time sampling event Sampling effort: 20 samples, 5 rivers, 4 replicates per site Study extent: Tierra del Fuego, Argentina |
|---|---|
| Контроль качества | Field and laboratory controls were included to minimize contamination and ensure data quality. A field blank consisting of distilled water was processed alongside environmental samples during sampling and filtration. Negative PCR controls were included during library preparation. Sequence quality was assessed using FastQC, and raw reads were filtered, trimmed, merged, and screened for chimeras prior to taxonomic assignment. Taxonomic identification was performed using a curated reference database. Species occurrences were retained only after applying bioinformatic. |
