Validation and development of COI metabarcoding primers for freshwater macroinvertebrate bioassessment
2017-03-22
Abstract excerpt
A central challenge in the present era of biodiversity loss is to assess and manage human impacts on freshwater ecosystems. Macroinvertebrates are an important group for bioassessment as many taxa show specific responses to environmental conditions. However, generating accurate macroinvertebrate inventories based on larval morphology is difficult and error-prone. Here, DNA metabarcoding provides new opportunities....
