This study uses DNA metabarcoding to survey insect biodiversity in Crete, revealing many new species and highlighting gaps in reference databases.

The paper demonstrates that rainwash eDNA metabarcoding can detect canopy invertebrate diversity, revealing species not present in water samples and showing host-specific patterns.

This paper compares two DNA extraction methods for metabarcoding Malaise trap samples, finding that wet material processing is more efficient and less prone to contamination.

This study uses DNA metabarcoding to analyze plant traces in Malaise trap samples, revealing insect-plant interactions and detecting rare and neophyte species.

The paper investigates optimal size sorting and pooling strategies for malaise trap samples to maximize taxon recovery using metabarcoding.
