“…Studies have now employed this approach to assess species composition in communities of aquatic and terrestrial arthropods (Beng et al, 2016;Elbrecht, Vamos, Meissner, Aroviita, & Leese, 2017;Ji et al, 2013), vertebrates (Sato, Sogo, Doi, & Yamanaka, 2017), diatoms (Vasselon et al, 2017) and fungi (Aas, Davey, & Kauserud, 2017;Bellemain et al, 2012;Tedersoo, Tooming-Klunderud, & Anslan, 2018). Such metabarcoding analysis routinely reveals more species than morphological approaches while requiring far less time (Brandon-Mong et al, 2015;Elbrecht, Peinert, & Leese, 2017;Elbrecht, Vamos et al, 2017;Hebert et al, 2018;Ji et al, 2013;Shokralla et al, 2015;Vivien, Lejzerowicz, & Pawlowski, 2016;Yu et al, 2012).…”
