The paper uses COI metabarcoding to analyze metazoan communities in harbours, finding high genetic diversity and connectivity among non-indigenous species despite their lower species count.

DnoisE is a denoising tool for sequence datasets that uses codon entropy to merge erroneous reads with correct ones, improving accuracy for coding markers.

The paper compares denoising and clustering methods for COI metabarcoding, arguing they are complementary and should be used together to better capture biodiversity information.
