Comparison of destructive and nondestructive DNA extraction methods for the metabarcoding of arthropod bulk samples
DNA metabarcoding is routinely used for biodiversity assessment, in particular targeting
highly diverse groups for which limited taxonomic expertise is available. Various protocols …

DNA metabarcoding and morphological identification reveal similar richness, taxonomic composition and body size patterns among flying insect communities
Tracking insect biodiversity trends and predicting future trajectories is limited by a lack of
monitoring data across large spatiotemporal scales. DNA metabarcoding is a time‐and cost …
