Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Francois Keck"
- Francois Keck's recent research predominantly focuses on the application of environmental DNA (eDNA) and metabarcoding technologies to monitor and assess aquatic biodiversity and ecosystem health, emphasizing their potential to replace traditional biomonitoring methods.
- His studies reveal that eDNA can provide detailed insights into the ecological changes and species distributions in freshwater environments, highlighting its efficacy in tracking the impacts of anthropogenic activities such as wastewater discharges and nutrient loading.
- Keck also addresses challenges related to taxonomic reference databases in metabarcoding, advocating for improved management and comprehensive data sets to enhance biodiversity assessments within aquatic ecosystems.
