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.

Applications of next-generation sequencing technologies and computational tools in molecular evolution and aquatic animals conservation studies : a short review [PDF]
, 2019 Aquatic ecosystems that form major biodiversity hotspots are critically threatened due to environmental and anthropogenic stressors. We believe that, in this genomic era, computational methods can be applied to promote aquatic biodiversity conservation ...

Fungal diversity, 2022 The global diversity of fungi has been estimated using several different approaches. There is somewhere between 2–11 million estimated species, but the number of formally described taxa is around 150,000, a tiny fraction of the total.

Minimizing polymerase biases in metabarcoding
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2018 AbstractDNA metabarcoding is an increasingly popular method to characterize and quantify biodiversity in environmental samples. Metabarcoding approaches simultaneously amplify a short, variable genomic region, or “barcode,” from a broad taxonomic group via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using universal primers that anneal to flanking conserved ...

A manager’s guide to using eDNA metabarcoding in marine ecosystems [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a powerful tool that can enhance marine ecosystem/biodiversity monitoring programs. Here we outline five important steps managers and researchers should consider when developing eDNA monitoring program: (1 ...
