Metabarcoding of DNA extracted from environmental or bulk specimen samples is
increasingly used to profile biota in basic and applied biodiversity research because of its …

Trap-based surveillance strategies are widely used for monitoring of invasive insect species,
aiming to detect newly arrived exotic taxa as well as track the population levels of …

With the growing anthropogenic pressure on marine ecosystems, the need for efficient
monitoring of biodiversity grows stronger. DNA metabarcoding of bulk samples is …

Metabarcoding can rapidly determine the species composition of bulk samples and thus
aids biodiversity and ecosystem assessment. However, it is essential to use primer sets that …

1. DNA metabarcoding is a cost‐effective species identification approach with great potential
to assist entomological ecologists. This review presents a practical guide to help …

The ability to properly identify species present in a landscape is foundational to ecology and
essential for natural resource management and conservation. However, many species are …

Microscopic organisms are often overlooked in traditional diversity assessments due to the
difficulty of identifying them based on morphology. Metabarcoding is a method for rapidly …

Although metabarcoding is a well-established tool for describing diversity of pelagic
communities, its quantitative value is still controversial, with poor correlations previously …

The deep ocean is the largest biome on Earth and faces increasing anthropogenic
pressures from climate change and commercial fisheries. Our ability to sustainably manage …

The role of macroalgae (seaweed) as a global contributor to carbon drawdown within
marine sediments–termed 'blue carbon'–remains uncertain and controversial. While studies …
