Multilocus typing of Lachancea thermotolerans for wine fermentation monitoring

This paper develops a multiplexed microsatellite amplification method for genotyping Lachancea thermotolerans strains to monitor fermentation and strain implantation in winemaking.

A rapid urban biodiversity blitz using aquatic environmental DNA

This study tests using environmental DNA and metabarcoding for rapid urban biodiversity surveys, detecting 501 taxa across 15 sites with minimal effort.

The effect of ethanol concentration on the morphological and molecular preservation of insects for biodiversity studies

This study examines how ethanol concentration affects insect preservation for morphology and DNA, finding trade-offs between the two.

Establishing insect community composition using metabarcoding of soil samples, and preservative ethanol and homogenate from Malaise trap catches: surprising inconsistencies between methods.

This study compares DNA metabarcoding methods for insect communities, finding inconsistencies between COI and 16S markers and between sampling methods like ethanol and homogenate.
