Abstract: Abstract In diet metabarcoding analyses, insufficient taxonomic coverage of PCR primer sets generates false negatives that may dramatically distort biodiversity estimates. In this paper, we investigated the taxonomic coverage and complementarity of three cytochrome c… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/mf17209
Abstract: Tropical reefs are highly diverse ecosystems, and reliable biomonitoring, through diet metabarcoding, is needed to understand present and future trophic relationships in this changing habitat. Several studies have assessed the reliability and effectiveness of single… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1755-0998.13643
Abstract: DNA metabarcoding is widely used to determine wild animal diets, but whether this technique provides accurate, quantitative measurements is still under debate. To test our ability to accurately estimate the abundance of dietary items using… read more here.
