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

Scientific 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 ...

Comparison of environmental DNA metabarcoding and bottom trawling for detecting seasonal fish communities and habitat preference in a highly disturbed estuary

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has been used to study fish diversity in various aquatic ecosystems. However, studies on fish community structure in estuarine ecosystems have not been well corroborated by eDNA metabarcoding, and comparisons with ...

Soil microbial communities in restored and unrestored coastal dune ecosystems in California [PDF]

, 2020
Most restoration projects involving invasive plant eradication tend to focus on plant removal with little consideration given to how these invasives change soil microbial communities.

A comprehensive survey of Rhinonyssid mites (Mesostigmata: Rhinonyssidae) in Northwest Russia: New mite-host associations and prevalence data [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Rhinonyssid mites are permanent parasites of birds that inhabit their respiratory tract. There are around 600 species described worldwide and almost all species of birds are found to have embedded rhinonyssid mites.

Observation Bias in Metabarcoding

Molecular Ecology Resources
ABSTRACTDNA metabarcoding is subject to observation bias associated with PCR and sequencing, which can result in observed read proportions differing from actual species proportions in the DNA extract. Here, we amplify and sequence a mock community of known composition containing marine fishes and cetaceans using four different primer sets and a variety

Selecting Promising Soil Quality Indicators for Monitoring Soil Management Effects Based on 10 European Long‐Term Field Experiments

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background: Soil quality can be measured through soil quality indicators that reflect soil processes. Aim: The aim of this study was to (1) identify a limited set of soil quality indicators that are most sensitive to agricultural soil management and that are widely applicable regardless of pedo‐climatic conditions, and (2) link common ...

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

PLoS 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

Scientific 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 ...

DNA Authentication of St John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) Commercial Products Targeting the ITS Region [PDF]

, 2019
open access articleThere is considerable potential for the use of DNA barcoding methods to authenticate raw medicinal plant materials, but their application to testing commercial products has been controversial.
