Uncovering trophic interactions in arthropod predators through DNA shotgun-sequencing of gut contents [PDF]
, 2016 Characterizing trophic networks is fundamental to many questions in ecology, but this typically requires painstaking efforts, especially to identify the diet of small generalist predators.

Metabarcoding of freshwater invertebrates to detect the effects of a pesticide spill [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2017 AbstractBiomonitoring underpins the environmental assessment of freshwater ecosystems and guides management and conservation. Current methodology for surveys of (macro)invertebrates uses coarse taxonomic identification where species‐level resolution is difficult to obtain.

Selective-logging and oil palm: Multitaxon impacts, biodiversity indicators, and trade-offs for conservation planning [PDF]
, 2014 Strong global demand for tropical timber and agricultural products has driven large-scale logging and subsequent conversion of tropical forests. Given that the majority of tropical landscapes have been or will likely be logged, the protection of ...

Quantifying uncertainty of taxonomic placement in DNA barcoding and metabarcoding [PDF]
, 2017 A crucial step in the use of DNA markers for biodiversity surveys is the assignment of Linnaean taxonomies (species, genus, etc.) to sequence reads. This allows the use of all the information known based on the taxonomic names. Taxonomic placement of DNA

Biases in bulk: DNA metabarcoding of marine communities and the methodology involved
Molecular Ecology, 2020 With the growing anthropogenic pressure on marine ecosystems, the need for efficient monitoring of biodiversity grows stronger. DNA metabarcoding of bulk samples is increasingly being implemented in ecosystem assessments and is more cost‐efficient and ...
