Environmental DNA substrates capture complementary dimensions of insect biodiversity
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has become a powerful approach for biodiversity assessment, yet whether different environmental substrates provide equivalent or complementary representations of terrestrial biodiversity remains unresolved. Here we addressed this question by comparing insect assemblages recovered from Malaise traps and six environmental substrates (water, sediment, soil,…
