Accuracy of occurrence and abundance estimates from insect metabarcoding

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2343-2363, August 2026.
Abstract DNA metabarcoding—high‐throughput sequencing of barcode regions from bulk samples—has become a key tool for insect biodiversity assessment. Yet, how methodological choices affect the accuracy of metabarcoding data remains insufficiently explored. In this paper, we ask: (1) How does the lysis method (non‐destructive lysis vs.
