Figure 1 in The nematode fauna from the top soil to the vadose zone in a forested groundwater recharge area
Figure 1. Population density of nematodes (ind./10 g DW soil ± SD) at Hintere Stellimatten (HST) and Verbindungsweg (VW). The decline in density was significant at both sites (Kruskall-Wallis rank sum test), but showed no significant differences after Dunn's post hoc test.

Data from: Taking eDNA underground: factors affecting eDNA detection of subterranean fauna in groundwater
<p class="BodyText1"><span>Stygofauna are ancient aquatic fauna that have evolved to live underground. The impacts of anthropogenic climate change, extraction and pollution on groundwater pose major threats to groundwater health, prompting the need for efficient and reliable means to detect and monitor stygofaunal communities. Traditional survey techniques for these species rely on morphological identification and can be biased, labour intensive, and often indeterminate to lower taxonomic levels. By contrast, environmental DNA (eDNA)-based methods have the potential to dramatically improve on existing stygofaunal survey methods in a large range of habitats and for all life stages, reducing the need for the destructive manual collection of often critically endangered species or specialized taxonomic expertise. We compared eDNA and haul-net samples collected in 2020 and 2021 from 19 groundwater bores and a cave on Barrow Island, located northwest of Western Australia, and assessed how sampling factors influenced the quality of eDNA detection of stygofauna. The two detection methods were complementary, eDNA metabarcoding was able to detect soft-bodied taxa and fish often missed by nets, but only detected seven of the nine stygofaunal crustacean orders identified from haul-net specimens. Our results also indicated that eDNA metabarcoding could detect 54-100% of stygofauna from shallow water samples and 82-90% from sediment samples. However, there was significant variation in stygofauna diversity between sample years and sampling types. The findings of this study demonstrate that haul net sampling has a tendency to underestimate stygofaunal diversity and that eDNA metabarcoding of groundwater can substantially improve efficiency of stygofaunal surveys.</span></p>
