Assessing metabarcoding-based identifications for monitoring beetle communities in temperate forests

Basic and Applied Ecology
With accelerating global change, there is an urgent need for rapid and comprehensive species monitoring programs to assess the status of insect assemblages; knowledge that is indispensable for the development of strategies that counteract insect declines.

Evaluation and application of eDNA metabarcoding primers of fish: A case study in an estuarine ecosystem

Global Ecology and Conservation
The selection of primers is crucial for conducting eDNA metabarcoding studies, particularly in estuarine regions characterized by complex habitats and high fish diversity. However, most previous eDNA metabarcoding studies have not systematically screened

DNA metabarcoding of spider egg sacs uncovers novel insights into host parasitoid complexes and trophic networks

Scientific Reports
DNA metabarcoding is a rapid tool for sequencing a multitude of samples at once, to identify associated organisms. This pioneering study, using DNA metabarcoding of spider egg sacs, establishes a framework for investigating host-parasitoid associations ...
