Ecological Indicators, 2021 Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) are characterized by silicified cell walls that favor their long-term preservation in sediments, therefore widely used as bioindicators of present and past water conditions.

Internal transcribed spacer primer evaluation for vascular plant metabarcoding [PDF]
Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2021 The unprecedented ongoing biodiversity decline necessitates scalable means of monitoring in order to fully understand the underlying causes. DNA metabarcoding has the potential to provide a powerful tool for accurate and rapid biodiversity monitoring ...

Scientific Reports, 2022 The soil fauna of the tropics remains one of the least known components of the biosphere. Long-term monitoring of this fauna is hampered by the lack of taxonomic expertise and funding. These obstacles may potentially be lifted with DNA metabarcoding.

An Illumina metabarcoding pipeline for fungi [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2014 AbstractHigh‐throughput metabarcoding studies on fungi and other eukaryotic microorganisms are rapidly becoming more frequent and more complex, requiring researchers to handle ever increasing amounts of raw sequence data. Here, we provide a flexible pipeline for pruning and analyzing fungal barcode (ITS rDNA) data generated as paired‐end reads on ...

Diversity and ecology of protists revealed by metabarcoding [PDF]
Current Biology, 2021 Protists are the dominant eukaryotes in the biosphere where they play key functional roles. While protists have been studied for over a century, it is the high-throughput sequencing of molecular markers from environmental samples - the approach of metabarcoding - that has revealed just how diverse, and abundant, these small organisms are. Metabarcoding

Ecosphere, 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.

The problem of omnivory: A synthesis on omnivory and DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2021 AbstractDietary analysis using DNA metabarcoding is a powerful tool that is increasingly being used to further our knowledge of trophic interactions in highly complex food webs but is not without limitations. Omnivores, the most generalist of consumers, pose unique challenges when using such methods.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Ecological research is often hampered by the inability to quantify animal diets. Diet composition can be tracked through DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, but whether (complex) diets can be quantitatively determined with metabarcoding is still debated ...

Persisting roadblocks in arthropod monitoring using non-destructive metabarcoding from collection media of passive traps [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Broad-scale monitoring of arthropods is often carried out with passive traps (e.g., Malaise traps) that can collect thousands of specimens per sample.
