    摘要:

    近年来,基于eDNA技术的生物调查监测快速发展并广泛应用,呈现出部分替代传统调查方法的趋势。在大家争相使用eDNA技术做研究、发论文的蓬勃扩张之下,存在一系列可能动摇这些研究、这些论文结论根基与价值的风险。本文聚焦其中的两个核心问题:其一,eDNA监测结果具体指向何物;其二,传统个体和生物量视角的群落生态学指标能否直接用于eDNA数据的表述和分析。为此,本文从“将传统群落生态学量化指标拓展至eDNA数据表述和分析”的适用性出发,围绕四点展开探讨:①eDNA物种序列相对丰度的具体内涵;②基于该相对丰度计算的群落量化指标所指向的对象;③以序列相对丰度替代个体数(或生物量)占比计算群落量化指标的有效性;④指称由序列相对丰度计算的群落量化指标的概念和术语体系构建。最后提出三点建议:①审慎阐述eDNA监测结果,勿轻易将其和传统调查结果做等同表述;②科学界定eDNA监测结果及其派生指标的指向,避免在结果解释与讨论中的概念混用与语义歧义;③凝聚共识,推动构建面向eDNA研究的概念与术语体系。本文为初步探讨,旨在促成进一步讨论。

    Abstract:

    The research on biological monitoring based on eDNA technology has witnessed rapid development and expansion in recent years, presenting a technological revolution trend that is partially replacing traditional field survey methods. In the vigorous expansion where so many researchers are competing to use eDNA technology for research and publishing papers, there are a series of risks that may undermine the foundation of these conclusions and the value of these papers. For instance, what object exactly does the eDNA monitoring result indicate? Is it appropriate to describe and analyze the eDNA monitoring results using traditional ecological concepts and methods applicable to individual survey data analysis? To explore this issue, the current manuscript took the applicability of the extended application of quantitative indicators from traditional community ecology in analyzing eDNA monitoring results as the starting point for its research. Four questions were analyzed. Firstly, what exactly does the relative abundance of DNA sequences of each detected species reflect in the eDNA monitoring results? Secondly, what exactly do the community quantitative indicators calculated based on the relative abundance of DNA sequences of each detected species indicate in the eDNA monitoring results? Thirdly, is it effective that using the relative abundance of DNA sequences of each detected species to replace the proportion of individual numbers or biomass in calculating community quantitative indicators? Fourthly, how to construct the concept system and terminology system for indicating and describing the community quantitative indicators calculated based on the detected species and the relative abundance of DNA sequences of each detected species reflect in the eDNA monitoring results? Then, it proposed three suggestions for the result description and interpretation in the biological monitoring and community analysis based on eDNA technology. The first, carefully describe the results of eDNA monitoring or investigation, and do not indiscreetly present them using the same methods for the results of traditional investigation and monitoring. The second, scientifically understand what the eDNA monitoring or investigation results indicate, and avoid ambiguity and confusion in the interpretation and discussion of the results. The third, get a growing consensus on this issue and construct the concept system and terminology system for indicating and describing the results of all research fields based on eDNA technology according to gradually explore and study. The current manuscript merely presents a preliminary exploration of the fundamental questions in the eDNA monitoring and analyzing, hoping to serve as a stimulus for further discussion.
