DNA metabarcoding-based detection of non-indigenous invertebrates in recreational marinas: influence of sample type and seasonal variation

Ana S. Lavrador, Fábio Amaral, Jorge Moutinho…·Sofia Duarte

This study evaluates how sample type and season affect DNA metabarcoding detection of non-indigenous invertebrates in marinas, finding higher NIS detection in zooplankton and during spring and autumn.
