| General Description of the Research Project | This collaborative research project aims to develop a standardized biomonitoring tool by using aquatic environmental DNA for Indo-Pacific mangrove ecosystem. The eDNA approach will serve as a new indicator for evaluating species biodiversity in mangrove ecosystems. Incorporating with Species Distribution Model analyses, the study will provide prediction of species distribution under different climate change scenarios |
