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.

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.

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 ...

Metabarcoding of marine zooplankton in South Africa [PDF]
African Journal of Marine Science, 2021 Metabarcoding is an emerging method in which DNA barcoding is combined with next-generation sequencing to determine the biodiversity of taxonomically complex samples. We assessed the current state of DNA barcode reference databases for marine zooplankton in South Africa and undertook a metabarcoding analysis to determine the species composition of ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Diatoms are one of the most important phytoplankton groups in the world’s oceans. There are responsible for up to 40% of the photosynthetic activity in the Ocean, and they play an important role in the silicon and carbon cycles by decoupling carbon from ...

Aerobiological Monitoring and Metabarcoding of Grass Pollen
Plants, 2023 Grass pollen is one of the leading causes of pollinosis, affecting 10–30% of the world’s population. The allergenicity of pollen from different Poaceae species is not the same and is estimated from moderate to high. Aerobiological monitoring is a standard method that allows one to track and predict the dynamics of allergen concentration in the air ...

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.

Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2023 Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has become a powerful tool for examining fish communities. Prior to the introduction of eDNA-based assessments into regulatory monitoring contexts (e.g., EU Water Framework Directive), there is a demand for ...
