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 …

Insects are crucial for ecosystem health but climate change and pesticide use are driving
massive insect decline. To mitigate this loss, we need new and effective monitoring …

Metabarcoding extra‐organismal DNA from environmental samples is now a key technique
in aquatic biomonitoring and ecosystem health assessment. Of critical consideration when …

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

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 …

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 …

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

DNA metabarcoding of freshwater communities typically relies on PCR amplification of a
fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene with degenerate primers …

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 …

Traditional environmental biomonitoring approaches have limitations in terms of species
detectability and their capacity to account for spatial and temporal variation. Furthermore, as …
