Calibrating Environmental DNA Metabarcoding to Conventional Surveys for Measuring Fish Species Richness

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The ability to properly identify species present in a landscape is foundational to ecology and essential for natural resource management and conservation.

Filling in the Gaps: Adopting Ultraconserved Elements Alongside COI to Strengthen Metabarcoding Studies

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Metabarcoding is rapidly gaining popularity as a means of conducting biodiversity studies. Using DNA barcodes to identify and catalog biodiversity has many advantages, and compares favorably with traditional methods based on morphological examination ...

Comparison of eDNA, bulk-community metabarcoding, and morphological identification approaches for assessing stream macroinvertebrate communities

Ecological Indicators
High-throughput sequencing enables the parallel sequencing of community samples, including environmental DNA (eDNA), making metabarcoding a widely used tool for biodiversity assessment.

Zooplankton Community Profiling in a Eutrophic Freshwater Ecosystem-Lake Tai Basin by DNA Metabarcoding

Scientific Reports, 2017
Communities of zooplankton, a critical portion of aquatic ecosystems, can be adversely affected by contamination resulting from human activities. Understanding the influence of environmental change on zooplankton communities under field-conditions is ...

Efficient assessment of nocturnal flying insect communities by combining automatic light traps and DNA metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, 2021
Increasing evidence for global insect declines is prompting a renewed interest in the survey of whole insect communities. DNA metabarcoding can contribute to assessing diverse insect communities over a range of spatial and temporal scales, but efforts ...

Metabarcoding with Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Technologies provides complementary insights into tree seed mycobiota

Environmental Microbiome
Background Culturing of fungi is labor-intensive and reveals limited diversity, while high-throughput sequencing of barcodes (i.e., metabarcoding) enables a simultaneous detection of fungi from multiple environmental samples.

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Is There a Fly in My Soup? To What Extent Do Metabarcoding and Individual Barcoding Tell the Same Story? [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Metabarcoding has become the method of choice for characterizing complex arthropod communities. The extent to which metabarcoded bulk samples will recover the same community composition as individual sequencing of all individuals in the sample remains poorly quantified.

Separating Faces in ARMS Metabarcoding Improves Marine Biodiversity Monitoring: A Comparison Across Protocols, Experimental Designs and Photographic Surveys. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Monitoring marine biodiversity requires approaches capable of capturing its spatial and temporal complexity. DNA metabarcoding coupled with Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) is increasingly used for this purpose, yet most applications still pool all sessile fractions and rarely benchmark molecular outputs against photographic ...

Identification of Mammalian and Poultry Species in Food and Pet Food Samples Using 16S rDNA Metabarcoding

Foods, 2021
The substitution of more appreciated animal species by animal species of lower commercial value is a common type of meat product adulteration. DNA metabarcoding, the combination of DNA barcoding with next-generation sequencing (NGS), plays an increasing ...
