Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a novel method of assessing biodiversity
wherein samples are taken from the environment via water, sediment or air from which DNA …

Identification of the species origin of pollen has many applications, including assessment of
plant–pollinator networks, reconstruction of ancient plant communities, product …

Rapid changes of the biosphere observed in recent years are caused by both small and
large scale drivers, like shifts in temperature, transformations in land-use, or changes in the …

DNA metabarcoding is a technique used to survey biodiversity in many ecological settings,
but there are doubts about whether it can provide quantitative results, that is, the proportions …

Pollen DNA metabarcoding—marker‐based genetic identification of potentially mixed‐
species pollen samples—has applications across a variety of fields. While basic species …

For honey bees (Apis mellifera), colony maintenance and growth are highly dependent on
worker foragers obtaining sufficient resources from flowering plants year round. Despite the …

Sufficiently diverse and abundant resources are essential for generalist consumers, and
form an important part of a suite of conservation strategies for pollinators. Honey bees are …

Premise of the study: To study pollination networks in a changing environment, we need
accurate, high‐throughput methods. Previous studies have shown that more highly resolved …

Over the past quarter century, environmental DNA (eDNA) has been ascendant as a tool to
detect, measure, and monitor biodiversity (species and communities), as a means of …

Although the use of metabarcoding to identify taxa in DNA mixtures is widely approved, its
reliability in quantifying taxon abundance is still the subject of debate. In this study we …
