Abstract:The use of metabarcoding has greatly improved the assessment of marine metazoans. However, it is still uncertain whether metabarcoding analyses (eDNA) accurately captures the diversity in the field.
This study aims to use an integrated approach merging α-taxonomy and organismal eDNA analysis of two genetic markers (COI and 18S), to observe for the first time the metazoan community inhabiting in a submarine Canyon and compare it with already well-known at a Long-Term Ecological Research.
