Analysis of Multitrophic Biodiversity Patterns in the Irtysh River Basin Based on eDNA Metabarcoding

Simple Summary In the Irtysh River basin, this study employed eDNA metabarcoding to monitor fish, planktonic organisms, and prokaryotic microorganisms, thereby validating the effectiveness of this approach in assessing biological community diversity within the ecosystem. By analyzing the environmental and biological drivers that shape community diversity, the research clarified the pathways through which invasive fish species impact algal, fungal, and prokaryotic microbial communities. These findings provide a new scientific basis for watershed ecological management, highlighting the critical role of habitat conservation and invasive species control in maintaining ecosystem functions.
