Abundance estimation with DNA metabarcoding – recent advancements for terrestrial arthropods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Biodiversity is declining at alarming rates worldwide and large-scale monitoring is urgently needed to understand changes and their drivers. While classical taxonomic identification of species is time and labour intensive, the combination with DNA-based ...

Comparison of mechanical sorting and DNA metabarcoding for diet analysis with fresh and degraded wolf scats

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
DNA metabarcoding has become a powerful technique for identifying the species present in a bulk environmental sample. The application of DNA metabarcoding to wildlife diet analysis is a particularly promising tool for exploring trophic interactions.

Contribution of DNA Metabarcoding to the Environmental Fungal Assessments in Hospitals. [PDF]

open access: yesMicrob Ecol
Abstract Hospitals are particularly sensitive environments where immunosuppressed patients might acquire invasive fungal infections. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out periodical environmental microbiological assessments that evaluate the fungal bioburden in air and surfaces from different hospital zones ...

Metabarcoding From Microbes to Mammals: Comprehensive Bioassessment on a Global Scale

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Global biodiversity loss is unprecedented, and threats to existing biodiversity are growing. Given pervasive global change, a major challenge facing resource managers is a lack of scalable tools to rapidly and consistently measure Earth's biodiversity ...

Characterizing parasitic nematode faunas in faeces and soil using DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes can impact fecundity, development, behaviour, and survival in wild vertebrate populations. Conventional monitoring of gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes in wild populations involves morphological ...

Evaluation of non-destructive DNA extraction protocols for insect metabarcoding: gentler and shorter is better [Elektronisk resurs]

open access: yes, 2022
DNA metabarcoding can accelerate research on insect diversity, as it is cheap and fast compared to manual sorting and identification. Most metabarcoding protocols require homogenisation of the sample, preventing further work on the specimens.

DNA Metabarcoding as a Tool for Disentangling Food Webs in Agroecosystems [PDF]

open access: yesInsects, 2020
Better knowledge of food webs and related ecological processes is fundamental to understanding the functional role of biodiversity in ecosystems. This is particularly true for pest regulation by natural enemies in agroecosystems. However, it is generally difficult to decipher the impact of predators, as they often leave no direct evidence of their ...
