Swabbing as a Non-Lethal DNA Collection Method for Earthworm Barcoding: Performance and Citizen Science Perspectives. [PDF]
Earthworm DNA barcoding commonly relies on lethal tissue sampling, which can discourage participation in citizen science projects due to emotional concerns. By comparing swab‐based and tissue‐based DNA collection methods, we show that swab sampling represents a promising, participant‐friendly option for citizen science–based earthworm biodiversity ...
