🎉 First PhD paper of@wolany_lisa comes with good news for #metabarcoding-based #biodiversity monitoring: Homogenized vs „mild lysed“ #insect samples provide highly similar results.
We prefer homogenization as it is better scalable, cheaper & identifies slightly more species.

Can insect bulk samples be used in #metabarcoding without homogenising them? Our research shows: it’s technically possible but yields poorer data and is more expensive and time-consuming:

Interessant: DNA #Metabarcoding liefert Hinweise auf reihenweise unplausible DNA Spuren in #Honig. Vieles spricht dafür, dass nicht drinnen ist was drauf steht. Die Analysen der zwei Labore sehen valide/reliabel aus. Hier sollte genauer hingeschaut werden

🎉📔hot off the press: #metapopulation structure of two freshwater isopods in an urban stream network! A complex picture. Survival in refugia, small scale isolation at present, occasional long-distance dispersal... Genomic data show: no cryptic species 😅 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…
