Environmental dna gives comparable results to morphology-based indices of macroinvertebrates in a large-scale ecological assessment

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Jeanine Brantschen and collaborators from the Environmental Studies, University of, Switzerland, Research Priority Programme Global have published the research work: Environmental DNA gives comparable results to morphology-based indices of macroinvertebrates in a large-scale ecological assessment, in the Journal: PLOS ONE of May/11,/2021
• what: This approach has the drawback of unspecific amplification of non-target organisms at the cost of target organism sequences . This study shows that eDNA sampling from water compared to kick-net data can give different estimates for the composition and diversity of macroinvertebrate communities at a local . . .
