Effects of Malaise trap spacing on species richness and composition of terrestrial arthropod bulk samples

D. Steinke, T. W. A. Braukmann, L. Manerus, A. Woodhouse, V. Elbrecht

The paper examines how spacing between Malaise traps affects species richness and composition in terrestrial arthropod samples using metabarcoding.

Improved freshwater macroinvertebrate detection from eDNA through minimized non-target amplification

F. Leese, M. Sander, D. Buchner, V. Elbrecht, P. Haase, V. M. A. Zizka

This study improves freshwater macroinvertebrate detection from eDNA by designing a new primer that reduces non-target amplification, increasing target read percentages and detected taxa.

Metabarcoding unsorted kick-samples facilitates macroinvertebrate-based biomonitoring with increased taxonomic resolution, while outperforming environmental DNA

L. Pereira da Conceicoa, V. Elbrecht, A. C. Hall, A. Briscoe, H. Barber-James, B. Price

This study compares DNA-based and morphological methods for macroinvertebrate biomonitoring, finding that unsorted samples provide equivalent water quality scores but higher diversity than sorted or eDNA samples.

Revealing the Complexities of Metabarcoding with a Diverse Arthropod Mock Community

T. W. Braukmann, N. V. Ivanova, S. W. Prosser, V. Elbrecht, D. Steinke, S. Ratnasingham, J. R. deWaard, J. E. Sones, E. V. Zakhariv, P. D. Hebert

This study evaluates how different DNA metabarcoding protocols affect species recovery in a mock arthropod community, finding that protocol variations significantly impact results.
