Metabarcoding options to study eukaryotic endoparasites of birds [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 AbstractThere is growing interest in the study of avian endoparasite communities, and metabarcoding is a promising approach to complement more conventional or targeted methods. In the case of eukaryotic endoparasites, phylogenetic diversity is extreme, with parasites from 4 kingdoms and 11 phyla documented in birds.

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 ...

What goes in, must come out:combining scat-based molecular diet analysis and quantification of ingested microplastics in a marine top predator [PDF]
, 2019 Context: Microplastics (plastic particles <5 mm in size) are highly available for ingestion by a wide range of organisms, either through direct consumption or indirectly, via trophic transfer, from prey to predator.

Diversity, 2022 We compared two sampling methods, eDNA metabarcoding and microscope identification (MSI), for the analysis of zooplankton diversity in reservoirs with its inflow and outflow streams. The dynamic patterns of Cladocera and Rotifera at different time points

PIA : more accurate taxonomic assignment of metagenomic data demonstrated on sedaDNA from the North sea [PDF]
, 2020 Assigning metagenomic reads to taxa presents significant challenges. Existing approaches address some issues, but are mostly limited to metabarcoding or optimized for microbial data. We present PIA (Phylogenetic Intersection Analysis): a taxonomic binner

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Species detection using environmental DNA (eDNA) is a biomonitoring tool that can be widely applied to mangrove restoration and management. Compared to traditional surveys that are taxa-specific and time-consuming, eDNA metabarcoding offers a rapid, non ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding: Transforming how we survey animal and plant communities
Molecular Ecology, 2017 The genomic revolution has fundamentally changed how we survey biodiversity on earth. High‐throughput sequencing (“HTS”) platforms now enable the rapid sequencing of DNA from diverse kinds of environmental samples (termed “environmental DNA” or “eDNA ...
