The paper assesses the suitability of the Leray-XT COI primer pair for amplifying ciliates and radiolarians, finding that the forward primer cannot bind to either taxon.

This paper presents a portable eDNA metabarcoding pipeline for rapid ecological assessment, demonstrating its feasibility in remote settings with on-site analysis.

The paper uses eDNA metabarcoding to analyze seasonal and interannual changes in Oslofjord fish communities over two years, finding significant taxonomic shifts and primer-specific richness patterns.

The paper identifies freshwater and terrestrial environments as diversity hotspots for short-branch Microsporidia to guide future sampling efforts.
