Analysis of seawater for DNA of rare and endangered hammerhead sharks has been used to infer their presence or absence at multiple locations throughout their range. No sharks were captured or observed; accuracy of the inferred distributions depends on the presumed degradation of environmental DNA in hours or days.

"Fate and transport of environmental DNA: mapping the knowns and unknowns"
TLDR - Review of how eDNA moves and is removed in aquatic systems to improve biodiversity monitoring and interpretation. Grab your macro-species goggles--the focus is on larger organisms, with bacteria mainly noted for eDNA removal and no mention of fungi or other microorganisms that live in aquatic systems.
"Large scale eDNA database reveals potential for pseudo biodiversity"
TLDR - warming waters are bringing more tropical fish northward, creating a short-term illusion of higher biodiversity the authors call 'pseudo biodiversity'

Wiredu-Boakye et al. analysed 432 DNA damage response (DDR) proteins in 68 genomes, showing that DDR proteins are consistently longer than housekeeping proteins, regardless of life history.
