Insects are the most diverse group of animals on Earth, but their small size and high diversity
have always made them challenging to study. Recent technological advances have the …

The rapidly emerging field of macrogenetics focuses on analysing publicly accessible
genetic datasets from thousands of species to explore large-scale patterns and predictors of …

While in recent years environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding surveys have shown great
promise as an alternative monitoring method, the integration into existing marine monitoring …

Metabarcoding can rapidly determine the species composition of bulk samples and thus
aids biodiversity and ecosystem assessment. However, it is essential to use primer sets that …

Integrative and proactive conservation approaches are critical to the long-term persistence
of biodiversity. Molecular data can provide important information on evolutionary processes …

1. DNA metabarcoding is a cost‐effective species identification approach with great potential
to assist entomological ecologists. This review presents a practical guide to help …

Population genetic data underpin many studies of behavioral, ecological, and evolutionary
processes in wild populations and contribute to effective conservation management …

Metabarcoding of complex metazoan communities is increasingly being used to measure
biodiversity in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems, revolutionizing our ability to …

Although DNA metabarcoding is an attractive approach for monitoring biodiversity, it is often
difficult to detect all the species present in a bulk sample. In particular, sequence recovery …

Background The recent blooming of metabarcoding applications to biodiversity studies
comes with some relevant methodological debates. One such issue concerns the treatment …
