Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a novel method of assessing biodiversity
wherein samples are taken from the environment via water, sediment or air from which DNA …

The purpose of this review is to present the most common and emerging DNA‐based
methods used to generate data for biodiversity and biomonitoring studies. As environmental …

DNA metabarcoding is increasingly used for the assessment of aquatic communities, and
numerous studies have investigated the consistency of this technique with traditional …

DNA metabarcoding of freshwater communities typically relies on PCR amplification of a
fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene with degenerate primers …

The increasing popularity of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) DNA metabarcoding
warrants a careful look at the underlying reference databases used to make high-throughput …

Aquatic invertebrates play a pivotal role in (eco) toxicological assessments because they
offer ethical, cost‐effective and repeatable testing options. Additionally, their significance in …

DNA metabarcoding allows the analysis of insect communities faster and more efficiently
