      Ice-free areas are expanding worldwide due to dramatic glacier shrinkage and are undergoing rapid colonization by multiple lifeforms, thus representing key environments to study ecosystem development. It has been proposed that the colonization dynamics of deglaciated terrains is different between surface and deep soils but that the heterogeneity between communities inhabiting surface and deep soils ...
    • Modelling technical and biological biases in macroinvertebrate community assessment from bulk preservative using multiple metabarcoding markers 

      Martins, Filipa M. S.; Porto, Miguel; Feio, Maria J.; Egeter, Bastian; Bonin, Aurélie; Serra, Sónia R. Q.; Taberlet, Pierre Robert Michel; Beja, Pedro (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-28)
      DNA metabarcoding from the ethanol used to store macroinvertebrate bulk samples is a convenient methodological option in molecular biodiversity assessment and biomonitoring of aquatic ecosystems, as it preserves specimens and reduces problems associated with sample sorting. However, this method may be affected by errors and biases, which need to be thoroughly quantified before it can be mainstreamed ...
