Protocols for characterizing taxonomic assemblages by deep sequencing of short DNA barcode regions (metabarcoding) have revolutionized our understanding of microbial communities and are standardized ...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a powerful tool for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, enabling ...
Pollen identification and quantification are essential in ecological and evolutionary research to address plant-pollinator relationships, pollination services, and plant reproduction. Research into ...
Metabarcoding allows scientists to extract DNA from the environment (known as environmental DNA or eDNA), for example, river water or, as in the case of the study by the team from the University of ...
A new study published in PeerJ Life & Environment and featured in the International Association for Biological Oceanography Hub evaluates the use of DNA metabarcoding to identify fish eggs. The study ...
Analysis of 59 datasets shows eDNA excels at detecting fish diversity but remains limited for biomass estimation ...
