Metabarcoding a Metacommunity: detecting change in a wetland wilderness

A. Bush, W. A. Monk, Z. G. Compson, D. L. Peters, T. M. Porter, S. Shokralla, M. T. G. Wright, M. Hajibabaei, D. J. Baird

The paper uses DNA metabarcoding to detect ecological changes in a wetland, showing it captures more taxa and reveals stochastic community dynamics than traditional methods.

Variations in terrestrial arthropod DNA metabarcoding methods recovers robust beta diversity but variable richness and site indicators based on exact sequence variants

T. M. Porter, D. M. Morris, N. Basiliko, M. Hajibabaei, D. Doucet, S. Bowman, E. J. S. Emilson, C. E. Emilson, D. Chartrand, K. Wainio-Keizer, A. Seguin, L. Venier

This study evaluates DNA metabarcoding methods for soil arthropods, finding that individual sampling increases richness but pooling maintains beta diversity, with limitations in species identification.
