Foraging history of individual elephants using DNA metabarcoding
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Individual animals should adjust diets according to food availability. We used DNA metabarcoding to construct individual-level dietary timeseries for elephants from two family groups in Kenya varying in habitat use, social position and reproductive status.

DNA Metabarcoding Methods for the Study of Marine Benthic Meiofauna: A Review
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Meiofaunal animals, roughly between 0.045 and 1 mm in size, are ubiquitous and ecologically important inhabitants of benthic marine ecosystems. Their high species richness and rapid response to environmental change make them promising targets for ...

Metabarcoding hyperdiverse kelp holdfast communities on temperate reefs: An experimental approach to inform future studies [PDF]
, 2022 Classical taxonomic approaches to quantifying biodiversity can be notoriously laborious and restrictive. Instead, molecular metabarcoding is emerging as a rapid, high-throughput, and cost-effective tool to catalog biodiversity.

PCR replication in environmental DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
, 2020 Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a common tool for measuring and cataloguing biodiversity, yet standard methodological approaches to generate metabarcoding data sets have yet to emerge, in part due to challenges understanding the biological and technical biases that affect eDNA profiles. Here, we explore how two experimental choices – depth of

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces
Applications in Plant SciencesPremise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal ...

Evaluating the potential of DNA metabarcoding for ecological status assessment under the Water Framework Directive: A case study on benthic invertebrates from Western Carpathian streams [PDF]
Metabarcoding and MetagenomicsRoutine biomonitoring under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) follows a conventional methodology primarily based on the morphological identification of taxa within the five biological quality elements (phytoplankton, phytobenthos, macrozoobenthos ...
