Is there a fly in my soup? To what extent do metabarcoding and individual barcoding tell the same story?

Brendan Furneaux, Tomas V. Roslin, Bess Hardwick…·Otso Ovaskainen

This study compares metabarcoding and individual barcoding of insect samples, finding they yield similar community structure but metabarcoding adds more species due to DNA residues.
