The bioassessment of aquatic ecosystems is currently based on various biotic indices that
use the occurrence and/or abundance of selected taxonomic groups to define ecological …

A decade after environmental scientists integrated high‐throughput sequencing
technologies in their toolbox, the genomics‐based monitoring of anthropogenic impacts on …

This book represents a synthesis of knowledge and best practice in the field of DNA-based
biomonitoring at the time of writing. It has been written with end-users of molecular tools in …

Metabarcoding has been used in a range of ecological applications such as taxonomic
assignment, dietary analysis and the analysis of environmental DNA. However, after a …

Recently reported insect declines have raised both political and social concern. Although
the declines have been attributed to land use and climate change, supporting evidence …

With the growing anthropogenic pressure on marine ecosystems, the need for efficient
monitoring of biodiversity grows stronger. DNA metabarcoding of bulk samples is …

DNA metabarcoding holds great promise for the assessment of macroinvertebrates in
stream ecosystems. However, few large‐scale studies have compared the performance of …

Biodiversity assessment of marine hard-bottom communities is hindered by the high
diversity and size-ranges of the organisms present. We developed a DNA metabarcoding …

Trap-based surveillance strategies are widely used for monitoring of invasive insect species,
aiming to detect newly arrived exotic taxa as well as track the population levels of …

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 …
