Using unsorted sweep net samples to rapidly assess macroinvertebrate biodiversity
In this study, we examine the feasibility of directly DNA metabarcoding unsorted macroinvertebrates (macroinvertebrates and debris) sweep net samples collected from pool/edge habitats which are commonly used for bioassessment. We processed these unsorted samples with a standardised method and tested multiple primer sets widely used for invertebrate DNA metabarcoding.
