      Siegenthaler, Andjin; Wangensteen Fuentes, Owen Simon; Soto, Ana Z.; Benvenuto, Chiara; Corrigan, Laura; Mariani, Stefano (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-28)
      Given their positioning and biological productivity, estuaries have long represented key providers of ecosystem services, and consequently remain under remarkable pressure from numerous forms of anthropogenic impact. The monitoring of fish communities in space and time are one of the most widespread and established approaches to assess the ecological status of estuaries and other coastal habitats, ...
    • Non‐specific amplification compromises environmental DNA metabarcoding with COI 

      Collins, Rupert A.; Bakker, Judith; Wangensteen Fuentes, Owen Simon; Soto, Ana Z.; Corrigan, Laura; Sims, David W.; Genner, Martin J.; Mariani, Stefano (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-02)
      <ol> <li>Metabarcoding extra‐organismal DNA from environmental samples is now a key technique in aquatic biomonitoring and ecosystem health assessment. Of critical consideration when designing experiments, and especially so when developing community standards and legislative frameworks, is the choice of genetic marker and primer set. Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), the standard ...
