Plant biodiversity assessment through pollen DNA metabarcoding in Natura 2000 habitats (Italian Alps)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Monitoring biodiversity is of increasing importance in natural ecosystems. Metabarcoding can be used as a powerful molecular tool to complement traditional biodiversity monitoring, as total environmental DNA can be analyzed from complex samples ...

Rainfall has contrasting effects on aquatic and terrestrial environmental DNA recovered from streams. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Appl
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is increasingly applied to a variety of questions and challenges across basic and applied ecology. Although streams and rivers (i.e., lotic ecosystems) can serve as conveyor belts of both aquatic and terrestrial eDNA from upstream or riparian areas, precipitation can dilute eDNA due to increasing ...

Residual eDNA in eRNA Extracts Skews eRNA-Based Biodiversity Assessment: Call for Optimised DNase Treatment. [PDF]

open access: yesMol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Environmental RNA (eRNA) metabarcoding has rapidly emerged as a powerful tool for assessing contemporary biodiversity patterns across diverse ecosystems. However, the potential for false positive detections caused by co‐extracted environmental DNA (eDNA) remains unquantified.

Unearthing soil arthropod diversity through DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesPeerJ, 2022
DNA metabarcoding has the potential to greatly advance understanding of soil biodiversity, but this approach has seen limited application for the most abundant and species-rich group of soil fauna–the arthropods. This study begins to address this gap by comparing information on species composition recovered from metabarcoding two types of bulk samples (

ranacapa: An R package and Shiny web app to explore environmental DNA data with exploratory statistics and interactive visualizations. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is becoming a core tool in ecology and conservation biology, and is being used in a growing number of education, biodiversity monitoring, and public outreach programs in which professional research scientists engage

Diversity and random forest models of oral microbiomes in periodontal health using publicly available data

open access: yesJournal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evidence on the 16S metabarcoding of supragingival, subgingival, and salivary microbiomes in periodontal health remains limited. We aimed to analyze the diversity and potential of machine‐learning models of supragingival, subgingival, and salivary microbiomes in periodontal health. Methods A total of 848 samples (supragingival = 210;

Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Detects Predators at Higher Rates Than Electrofishing

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA
There are numerous downsides and risks associated with electrofishing; hence, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is becoming increasingly common in aquatic ecological studies.

Comparison and validation of some ITS primer pairs useful for fungal metabarcoding studies.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Current metabarcoding studies aiming to characterize microbial communities generally rely on the amplification and sequencing of relatively short DNA regions.

Comparative environmental RNA and DNA metabarcoding analysis of river algae and arthropods for ecological surveys and water quality assessment

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is widely used for species analysis, while the use of environmental RNA (eRNA) metabarcoding is more limited. We conducted comparative eDNA/eRNA metabarcoding of the algae and arthropods (aquatic insects) in water ...
